SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Save A Lot is making room on its shelves for a bevy of new products, which means strategic new partnerships are also in store for the grocer. Making moves to scale its sourcing efforts and bring innovative new offerings to its shoppers, the retailer has tapped RangeMe, a distinguished product discovery and sourcing platform, as its latest ally.
“Save A Lot is a limited assortment, hometown value grocer. That means we are laser-focused on providing convenience, value, and quality products for everyone who walks through our doors,” said Tom Burkemper, Vice President of DSD and Merchandising Services, Save A Lot. “The differentiator for us is that through our partnership with RangeMe, we are able to more quickly source, evaluate, and customize assortment options for our Retail Partners. RangeMe allows us to review vendor submissions at the national, regional, and local market levels. This helps to ensure we bring a great selection of items tailored to meet the quality standards and market-specific needs of our Retail Partners and the customers they serve.”
As a result of the alliance, Save A Lot will have access to more than 200,000 suppliers through RangeMe, opening up a new level of scalability for the company. According to a press release, Save A Lot will also be granted the ability to leverage a simplified submission process for suppliers that are interested in getting their products on the retailer’s shelves, with an end goal of increasing selection, sourcing innovative products, and providing continued value for its consumers.
