OUR NETWORK Through our expansive store network – almost 74 million
square feet of retail space in prime, convenient locations – we now partner
with other network-based businesses to provide shoppers with non-traditional
services such as banking. Similar opportunities exist for other routine
household needs.
OUR PURCHASING AND MANUFACTURING SCALE With buying exper-
tise in more than 80 product categories and manufacturing capabilities in
41 plants, we could create a wide range of new business opportunities in
addition to our existing third-party procurement and production arrangements.
■■While we are currently evaluating many such opportunities and are
developing a few that we believe have the greatest potential, our principal
focus remains on our core business of food and drug retailing.
