Farm Fresh selling 21 stores to Kroger/Harris Teeter and Food Lion; the remainder to be sold or shut down

Supervalu is officially pulling the plug on Farm Fresh. The prescription files at the remaining units are being sold off.

Re: Farm Fresh may be on its way out

Didn't they already combine Farm Fresh into the Shoppers division? Last year they combined the merchandising functions of Farm Fresh, Shoppers and Shop 'n Save East, in the process eliminating 21 merchandising jobs at Farm Fresh https://progressivegrocer.com/shoppers-take-over-farm-fresh-merch-ops

Hopefully, but from what I've seen of Albertsons, it's more likely you'll see Signature Select ice cream at Rite Aid.
