The chain has a roughly 13% share of the market in the Washington, DC, metro area. It is focusing on opening new stores and upgrading customer services, including adding in-store pharmacies and banking. The company was incorporated in 1956 as Jumbo Food Stores and was bought in 1998 by wholesale food distributor Richfood Holdings, which was in turn bought by #1 food wholesaler SUPERVALU in 1999.
