The Grand Rapids, Michigan-based company has acquired Metcalfe’s Market, a three-store grocery chain in Wisconsin.
Food solutions company SpartanNash has acquired a small Wisconsin grocery chain. Upon close of the sale, the Madison and Wauwatosa locations will be continuing employment for all employees. The Metcalfe’s Market storefront, branding and core shopper experience will remain in place.
The move is one of several acquisitions in recent years for SpartanNash. Last January, the company acquired independent wholesaler Great Lake Foods. In 2022, SpartanNash purchased Shop-N-Save Food Centers, a three-store chain serving northern Michigan, converting the stores to its Family Fare banner.
“Metcalfe’s Market has been a successful family-owned and operated business for four generations and we are honoured that the Metcalfe family is entrusting SpartanNash to build upon their legacy and bring new offerings to its team members and grocery shoppers,” said SpartanNash CEO Tony Sarsam. “As a ‘People First’ company, we welcome Tim, Kevin and the entire Metcalfe’s Market team into the SpartanNash family and we look forward to earning the loyalty of our newest store guests. As a food solutions company, we provide the ingredients for family meals and traditions – just like Metcalfe’s Market has for more than 100 years.”
