Exhibit 99.2

Dear Unified Member:

I have some very important news to report. Earlier today, our Board of Directors unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement for Supervalu to acquire Unified Grocers. What this means is that, if the necessary approvals are obtained, Unified will become part of Supervalu. As many of you know, Supervalu, one of the largest wholesalers in the United States, is dedicated to serving the independent grocer. Some of the details regarding the transaction are in the joint press release (http://gallery.mailchimp.com/3d28f56f3a675ad9e92eecae4/files/8960979d-0cdd-402d-b621-1371dd7aa569/SVU_Unified_press_release_FINAL.pdf) distributed a few minutes ago.

Of course, both our Associates and our Members will have many questions regarding the terms of the transaction and what it means for all of us going forward. The first step in this process is meetings with our Associates at all locations today. Over the next weeks, we will conduct several meetings with our Members to provide more detail as to the future under this new structure. Supervalu executives will join us at many of these meetings to introduce themselves and to answer questions. The meeting schedule will be sent out very soon.

Subject to the terms of the merger agreement, the Class A and B shares will be converted into the right to receive $200.27 per share at closing, which was the exchange value at the end of the fiscal year (October 3, 2016), and the Class E shares will be converted into the right to receive $100 per share, their stated value. For now, there’s no action you need to take. Details on payment will be provided in our upcoming Proxy Statement.

It will take several months to complete this transaction, which involves among other things regulatory approval and approval by our Members. We haven’t scheduled a date for a Shareholders’ meeting yet, but will do so soon. We will send out a Proxy Statement with all the transaction details well in advance of the Shareholders’ meeting so that all your questions can be addressed.

Everything we do is centered on the idea that Unified exists to make sure that our owner-Members have a stable, secure and progressive source of supply over the long term. Our Board believes, and the Senior Management team supports, the idea that the combined excellence of Supervalu and Unified will best serve our foundational mission long into the future.

We all understand that change can be both exciting and confusing at times. While we will all learn more about how we will combine these two great companies, the Unified team is committed to serve our Members and customers at the same level of excellence that they have come to expect from Unified.

Very truly yours,

Bob Ling

President and Chief Executive Officer

Unified Grocers, Inc.
