SpartanNash

SpartanNash Company (formerly Grand Rapids Wholesale Grocery Company and Spartan Stores, Inc.) is an American food distribution and retail company headquartered in Byron Center, Michigan. Founded in 1917, it was formerly known as Spartan Stores until adopting its current name on November 19, 2013, following a merger with Nash Finch Company.

In September 2025, the company was purchased by C&S Wholesale Grocers.

The company's core businesses include distributing food to independent grocers, military commissaries (through MDV SpartanNash, its military division acquired through its merger with Nash Finch), and corporate-owned retail grocery stores in 44 states, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.

SpartanNash operates 147 corporate-owned retail stores under a number of brands located in the Midwestern United States, primarily under the banners of Family Fare, Martin's Super Markets, and D&W Fresh Market, many of which are local and regional grocery chains acquired by SpartanNash.

In terms of revenue, it is the largest food distributor serving military commissaries and exchanges in the United States. The company is known for its "Our Family" line of products and formerly the "Spartan" line of products.

In 2025, SpartanNash announced that it was beginning proceedings to be acquired by C&S Wholesale Grocers, the holding company that controls Piggly Wiggly. On September 22, it was announced that this transaction had been completed.

The Grand Rapids Wholesale Grocery Company was founded in 1917 by a group of 43 grocers and assumed the Spartan Stores name in 1957. For most of its history, Spartan was a cooperative. Spartan became a for-profit company in the 1970s.

D&W Food Centers, which Spartan would later acquire, began using Spartan as a supplier in 1961. As part of this agreement, D&W stores sold Spartan-branded products as well as private label products specifically developed for D&W. In 2000, D&W switched to Supervalu.
