PROFILE |
 |
Shaw's Supermarkets bags New England's grocery business regularly. A subsidiary of the UK-based supermarket giant J Sainsbury, the company operates about 170 stores under the Shaw's and Star Markets banners in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Shaw's significantly increased its presence in the Boston area with its 1998 acquisition of the more upscale Star Markets chain. The purchase gave the company four Wild Harvest natural foods stores, which were later sold to Wild Oats Markets. (Shaw's retained the Wild Harvest name.) The grocer bought 19 Grand Union stores from the bankrupt chain in early 2001. Private-label products account for about 40% of total sales.
