ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- - - ------ --------

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT
-------------------

SUPERVALU INC., a Delaware corporation organized in 1925 as the successor
to two wholesale grocery firms established in the 1870's, has its
principal executive offices at 11840 Valley View Road, Eden Prairie,
Minnesota 55344 (Telephone: 612-828-4000).

The Company is the nation's largest food wholesaler and approximately
14th largest food retailer. It is primarily engaged in the business of
selling food and nonfood products at wholesale. The Company supplied
approximately 4,350 stores in 47 states as of the close of fiscal 1994
and approximately 4,650 stores in May of 1994. In addition, the Company
also operated at fiscal year-end 258 retail food supermarkets, discount
food superstores, combination stores, limited-assortment and other
stores, primarily under the names of Cub Foods, Shop 'n Save, Save-A-Lot,
Scott's, Laneco, Hornbacher's, Twin Valu, Ultra IGA and MAX CLUB.

While not material to overall operations to date, the Company also serves
a growing international sales operation to customers in many foreign
countries, and its military sales operations serve over 100 military
bases.

In 1991, SUPERVALU began the implementation of a strategy to focus on its
core food distribution and retailing business segments. The Company
executed the first major step of this strategy in October 1991 with the
sale of 54% of SUPERVALU's interest in ShopKo Stores, Inc. ("ShopKo"),
its discount general merchandise subsidiary, through an initial public
offering. SUPERVALU continues to own a 46% interest in ShopKo which, at
fiscal year end, operated 118 discount department stores in 15 states.

As of October 31, 1992, the Company completed the acquisition of Wetterau
Incorporated ("Wetterau"), resulting in a significant expansion of the
geographic market and customer base compared with that previously served
by SUPERVALU food wholesale and retail operations. In fiscal 1994 the
Company completed the integration of Wetterau's administrative and
support services into its own and combined or closed a number of
distribution operations to eliminate inefficiencies and overlap. The
Company continues to evaluate further consolidations to improve
efficiencies in its distribution operations. See "Properties."

In March, 1994, the Company acquired Sweet Life Foods, Inc. ("Sweet
Life"), a privately-owned grocery wholesale distributor serving
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and Eastern New York. This acquisition
further strengthened the Company's customer base by adding 280 additional
stores as customers in the New England states. The Company plans to
consolidate its New England distribution operations and further develop
retail support services for New England retailers.

The Company has also made other smaller acquisitions from time to time to
further the growth of its food distribution, retailing and bakery
operations.

Additional description of the Company's business is contained in the
"Financial Review" portion of the Company's Annual Report to the
Stockholders for fiscal year 1994 (Exhibit 13), pages 14-17, which
description is incorporated herein by reference.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
---------------------------------------------

Financial information about the Company's industry segments for the five
years ended February 26, 1994 is incorporated by reference to page 20 of
the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for fiscal year 1994 (Exhibit
13).

FOOD DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS
----------------------------

DESCRIPTION OF FOOD STORES SERVED. SUPERVALU food distribution divisions
---------------------------------
sell food and nonfood products at wholesale and offer a variety of retail
support services to independently-owned retail food stores. At February
26, 1994, the Company's 26 food distribution divisions and 4 general
merchandise divisions were the principal supplier to approximately 4,350
retail grocery and general merchandise stores, the same number of stores
served at the end of fiscal 1993. In March, 1994 the Company acquired an
additional 280 stores as customers upon completion of the acquisition of
Sweet Life.

Retail food stores served by the Company at wholesale range in size from
small convenience stores to 200,000 square foot supercenters. The
Company's wholesale customer base includes single and multiple store
independent operators, affiliated stores, regional chains and Company
owned stores, operating in a variety of formats including limited
assortment stores, discount food stores, conventional and upscale
supermarkets and combination stores.

Retail food stores served by the Company at wholesale offer a wide
variety of groceries, meats, dairy products, frozen foods and fresh
fruits and vegetables. In addition, most stores carry an assortment of
non-food items, including tobacco products, health and beauty aids, paper
products, cleaning supplies, and small household and clothing items. The
number and variety of such non-food items have expanded significantly in
recent years in line with the general industry trend but vary
considerably from store to store. Many stores offer one or more
specialized services, such as delicatessens, food courts, in-store
bakeries, liquor departments, video, pharmacies, housewares and flower
shops.

The Company is constantly endeavoring to strengthen the retail food
stores it serves by assisting in the upgrading and enlargement of
existing stores, establishing new stores, more aggressively merchandising
its stores, developing diverse formats and retail strategies, and
assisting stores to serve markets which are increasingly segmented.

PRODUCTS SUPPLIED. SUPERVALU continues to supply its retail food stores
-----------------
with an increasing variety and selection of products, including national
and regional brands and the Company's own line of private label product
programs. Such trademarks as SUPER VALU, FLAV-O-RITE, CHATEAU, SHOP 'N
SAVE, SHOPPERS VALUE, IGA, NATURE'S BEST, HOME BEST, BI-RITE, FOODLAND,
WHY PAY MORE, and others accounted for approximately 9.5 percent of the
Company's fiscal 1994 sales to retail food stores. With the acquisition
of Sweet Life in March of 1994, the Company also added the SWEET LIFE
private label. In addition, the Company is planning to test market a
new, upscale, private label line of products under the name PREFERRED
SELECTION.

Private labels cover a broad range of products including every department
in the store: frozen, dairy, grocery, meats, bakery, deli, general
merchandise and produce. These products are produced to the Company's
specifications by many suppliers, some of whom are the nation's foremost
manufacturers. In addition, such items as peanut butter, nuts, sugar and
coconut are

-4-


manufactured or repackaged in the Company's own manufacturing facility
located in Chaska, Minnesota, which is operated by Preferred Products,
Inc., a subsidiary of the Company.

In addition to making these products available, SUPERVALU also assumes a
large part of the marketing and merchandising role, conducts private
label sales events, and provides a wide array of in-store promotional and
advertising tools and training expertise to assist the retailer in
conducting private label programs to maximize sales and produce profit
advantage.

Hazelwood Farms Bakeries, Inc., a subsidiary, manufactures frozen dough
and bakery products primarily for the in-store bakery market, and has
customers in all 50 states as well as Canada and Mexico. Its customer
base consists of wholesale food distributors, supermarket chains
(including company-owned, affiliated and non-affiliated stores), fast
food chains and institutional food service companies.

The Company has no significant long-term purchase obligations and
considers that it has adequate and alternative sources of supply for most
of its purchased products.

DISTRIBUTION AND COSTS OF MERCHANDISE. Deliveries to retail stores are
-------------------------------------
made from the Company's distribution centers, usually in Company-owned
trucks. In addition, many types of meats, dairy products, bakery and
other products purchased from the Company are delivered directly by
suppliers to retail stores under programs established by the Company.
Wholesale sales are made to the Company's retailers at the applicable
price and fee schedule in effect at the time of sale.

The Company seeks to lower its cost of product by regionalizing its food
buying operations and centralizing buying for general merchandise and
health and beauty products to better leverage the buying power of larger
product orders. The integration of administrative functions and
consolidation of facilities is also expected to improve operating
efficiencies and lower costs of operations. These actions are intended
to reduce the cost of product to the Company's retailers, thereby
enhancing their competitive position.

SERVICES SUPPLIED. In addition to supplying merchandise, the Company
-----------------
also offers retail stores a wide variety of support services, including
advertising, promotional and merchandising assistance, store management
assistance, retail operations counseling, computerized inventory control
and ordering services, accounting, bill paying and payroll services
(largely computerized), store layout and equipment planning (including
point-of-sale electronic scanning), cash management, tax counseling,
building design and construction services, financial and budget planning,
assistance in selection and purchasing or leasing of store sites,
consumer and market research and personnel management assistance.
Certain Company subsidiaries operate as insurance agencies and provide
comprehensive insurance programs to the Company's affiliated retailers.
Separate charges are made for most, but not all, of these services.

The Company may provide financial assistance to retail stores served or
to be served by it, including the acquisition and subleasing of store
properties, the making of direct loans, and providing guarantees or other
forms of financing. In general, loans made by the Company to independent
retailers are secured by liens on inventory and/or equipment, by personal
guarantees and other security. When the Company subleases store
properties to retailers, the rentals are generally as high or higher than
those paid by the Company.

RETAIL FOOD OPERATIONS.
----------------------

At fiscal year end, the Company's retail businesses operated a total of
258 retail stores under several formats, including discount food
superstores, conventional stores, upscale service-oriented supermarkets,
supercenters, combination stores and limited-assortment stores. These
diverse formats enable the Company to operate in a variety of markets
under widely differing competitive circumstances.

At the close of fiscal 1994, the Company's retail stores operated under
the following principal formats:

Cub Foods consists of 107 discount food superstores, 54 of which are
franchised to independent retailers and 53 of which are corporately
operated. Plans for fiscal 1995 include the opening of from seven to
nine corporate Cub Foods stores and seven franchised units. The Company
has also developed a prototype format called Cub Too!, a 28,000 square
foot store which is designed to supplement the traditional Cub Foods
format within existing markets. One Cub Too! store was opened during the
fiscal year.

Shop 'n Save consists of 28 discount food stores located in Eastern
Missouri and Southern Illinois; one new replacement store and five
remodeling projects are planned for fiscal 1995.

Save-A-Lot is the Company's combined wholesale and retail limited
assortment operation. At fiscal year end there were 411 Save-A-Lot
limited assortment stores of which 75 were corporately operated. In May
of 1994, Save-A-Lot completed the acquisition of 30 Texas T stores in the
Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas market, which will be converted to the Save-A-Lot
banner. Save-A-Lot projects adding 105 stores in fiscal 1995 including
20 corporately owned stores, in addition to the Texas T stores.

Scott's Foods is a 13-store group located in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area
acquired by the Company in 1991. One new store is planned for fiscal
1995.

The Company's Laneco division operates a diverse mix of 50 retail outlets
comprised predominantly of supermarkets and supercenters, together with
discount department stores, discount food stores, drug stores and craft
stores. These stores operate mainly under the Laneco, Foodlane, Ultra
IGA, and Price Slasher names and formats. No new stores are planned for
fiscal 1995.

Hornbacher's is a four-store group located in the Fargo, North Dakota
marketplace, with one additional store under construction for opening in
fiscal 1995.

Twin Valu consists of two 180,000 square foot supercenter formats in the
Cleveland, Ohio area, together with two Twin Valu Foods stores which were
opened in fiscal 1993. No new stores are planned for fiscal 1995.

MAX CLUB consists of two 70,000 square foot corporately-operated
membership warehouse clubs in Arizona. The Company intends to develop
two additional stores in fiscal 1995.

Other formats operated by the Company include County Market, SUPERVALU
Stores, IGA, Foodland and Rite Choice.

TRADEMARKS
----------

The Company offers its customers the opportunity to franchise a concept
or license a trademark. This program helps the customer compete by
providing, as part of the franchise or license program, a complete
business concept, group advertising, private label products and other
benefits. The Company is the franchisor or has the right to license
retailers to use certain trademarks such as CUB FOODS, SAVE-A-LOT, COUNTY
MARKET, SHOP 'N SAVE, NEWMARKET, SUPERVALU, IGA, FOODLAND and SUPERVALU
FOOD & DRUG. The Company registers a substantial number of its
trademarks in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including
many of its private label product trademarks. See "Products Supplied".
The Company considers certain of its trademarks to be of material
importance to its business and actively defends and enforces such
trademarks.

COMPETITION
-----------

Since the Company's food business consists principally of supplying
independently owned and operated retail food stores, its success is
dependent upon the ability of those retail store operators to compete
successfully with other retail food stores, whether such other stores are
owned by chains or are independently operated, and also upon its own
ability to compete successfully with other wholesale distributors. Both
the wholesale and the retail food businesses are highly competitive. At
the wholesale level, the Company competes directly with a number of
wholesalers which supply affiliated and unaffiliated retailers and
indirectly with the warehouse and distribution operations of the large
integrated chains. The Company competes with other wholesale food
distributors in most of its market areas on the basis of product price,
quality and assortment, schedule and reliability of deliveries, the range
and quality of services provided, the location of the store sites and
distribution facilities and its willingness to provide financing to its
customers. See "Distribution and Costs of Merchandise" and "Services
Supplied."

The principal competitive factors that affect the Company's retail
segment are location, price, quality, service and consumer loyalty.
Local, regional, and national food chains, as well as independent food
stores and markets, comprise the principal competition, although the
Company also faces competition from alternative formats including
supercenters and membership warehouse clubs and from convenience stores
and specialty and discount retailers.

EMPLOYEES
---------

At February 26, 1994, the Company had approximately 42,500 employees.
Approximately 18,500 employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements. During fiscal year 1994, 20 agreements covering 6,000
employees were re-negotiated, with no work stoppages. In fiscal year
1995, 35 contracts covering approximately 7,000 employees will expire.
The Company believes that it has generally good relationships with its
employees.

INVESTMENT IN SHOPKO
--------------------

Following its initial public offering in October 1991, ShopKo has been
operated as an independent company. The Company's 46% investment in
ShopKo is accounted for by the equity method. The following summary of
ShopKo's business has been prepared from information provided by ShopKo.
Additional information regarding ShopKo is available from the reports and
other documents prepared and filed by ShopKo with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

-7-


As of February 26, 1994, ShopKo operated 118 discount retail stores in 15
states. ShopKo's corporate headquarters are located in Green Bay,
Wisconsin and its stores are located primarily in medium-sized and
smaller cities in the Upper Midwest and in Mountain and Pacific Northwest
states. ShopKo stores carry a wide selection of branded and private
label nondurable "hard line" goods such as housewares, music/videos,
health and beauty aids, toys and sporting goods and "soft line" goods
such as home textiles, men's, women's and children's apparel, shoes,
jewelry, cosmetics and accessories. ShopKo's stores average 90,400
square feet with approximately 83% of the stores greater than 74,000
square feet. During fiscal 1994, ShopKo opened six new stores and
renovated 16 stores. ShopKo plans to open seven new stores and remodel
up to 34 stores in fiscal 1995. The discount general merchandise
business is very competitive. ShopKo competes in most of its markets
with a variety of national discount chains, including Wal-Mart and K
Mart, and with regional discount chains such as Target, and local
discount stores, certain discount specialty retail chains and deep
discount drug operations. Of ShopKo's six directors, two are officers of
SUPERVALU.

OTHER INVESTMENTS.
-----------------
The Company has ownership interests in business ventures related to its
wholesale and retail segments. Investments in retail businesses include
Hyper Shoppes, Inc., Waremart, Inc., and Super Discount Markets, Inc.
Investments in wholesale businesses include Foodland Distributors. The
Company also owns interests in certain Cub franchise partnerships and
corporations and other ventures.

The Company's ownership interests range from 9% to 57%. Where the Company
owns a majority interest, results are accounted for on a consolidated
basis with minority interests; otherwise results are accounted for using
the equity method or at cost. The aggregate carrying amounts from these
investments are approximately 2% of total assets and the aggregate income
is approximately 2% of net earnings.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
- - - ------ ----------

The Company's executive offices are located in a 180,000 square foot
corporate headquarters facility located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, a
western suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This headquarters facility is
located on a 140 acre site owned by the Company. In February, 1994 the
Company purchased a 240,000 square foot office facility, One Southwest
Crossing, which is located within one mile of its executive offices. At
the end of fiscal 1994, One Southwest Crossing was occupied principally
by third party tenants. The Company plans to move certain of its
headquarters staff to One Southwest Crossing as these leases expire.

* The facilities are currently owned by Wetterau Properties Inc., a publicly
owned real estate investment trust. The Company has entered into an agreement
in principle to acquire all the assets of Wetterau Properties, Inc.,
including these facilities.

With the purchase of Sweet Life in March of 1994, the Company acquired a
650,000 square foot leased distribution facility in Suffield, Connecticut
and a 300,000 square foot facility under a short term lease in Northboro,
Massachusetts.

As part of its plan to consolidate facilities after the Wetterau
acquisition, the Company closed distribution facilities in Kansas City,
Kansas; Mexico, Missouri; Charleston, South Carolina and Butler,
Pennsylvania. The Company is also in the process of closing its
Bloomington, Indiana facility. As planned, the Company has closed the
former Wetterau administrative offices.

The Company also owns certain additional real estate consisting primarily
of shopping centers and retail store locations, which in the aggregate
are not material to its operations.

The Company owns, in addition to merchandise inventories, substantially
all of the trucks and trailers used in making deliveries in its food
operations.

Retail food stores operated by the Company generally have been leased,
usually for a term of 15-25 years plus renewal options. The Company is
increasingly developing and owning its own retail store sites. The
Company also leases properties for subletting to certain affiliated
retailers for periods generally not exceeding 20 years plus renewal
options.
