Supervalu has been facing stiff competition from other grocery chains, dollar stores and big box retailers like Target and Walmart for some years now. With the sale done, the Minneapolis company will now train the spotlight on its
Save-A-Lot discount stores, as well as its smaller regional chains such as Cub, Farm Fresh, Shoppers, Shop 'n Save and Hornbacher's. It will also continue to operate its wholesale business that distributes products to grocery stores.

The company has said that Robert Miller, president and CEO of Albertsons LLC, will be Supervalu's new non-executive chairman of the board replacing Wayne Sales, who has served as executive chairman since August 2012.
Sales will stay on the board as a director, along with Donald Chappel, Irwin Cohen, Philip Francis and Matthew Rube who are currently board members. As previously agreed upon, directors Ronald Daly, Susan Engel, Edwin Gage, Steven Rogers and Kathi Seifert, voluntarily resigned from the board.

Some more changes are planned. Shares of Supervalu soared almost 12 percent, or 48 cents, to $4.67 yesterday.
