PROFILE |
 |
Moving away from its past in the grocery store game until recently, Yucaipa is blasting into cyberspace. While Yucaipa still owns 70% of Golden State Foods (one of McDonald's largest food suppliers), 2% of Kroger, and has purchased about 9% of major food distributor Fleming, the company has plunged headlong into the Internet. Yucaipa owns 50% of CheckOut Entertainment Network, the operator of entertainment and e-commerce Web site CheckOut.com (retailer Wherehouse Entertainment owns the other half). The company's portfolio also includes Alliance Entertainment (music, videos, and game distribution), as well as stakes in GameSpy (online games), LiveWorld (online chats), and OneNetNow (online communities).
