ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT

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

The Company is the largest food wholesaler and approximately the 13th
largest food retailer in the nation. It is engaged in the business of
selling food and nonfood products at wholesale and operating a variety
of store formats at retail. The Company supplied approximately 4,800
stores (not including 701 Save-A-Lot limited assortment stores) in 48
states as of the close of fiscal 1998 and approximately 4,300 stores
(not including 611 Save-A-Lot limited assortment stores) at the close
of fiscal 1997. The Company operated at fiscal year-end 328 retail
stores under its principal corporate retail formats, including price
superstores, supercenters, fresh superstores, limited-assortment
stores, and supermarkets, primarily under the names of Cub Foods, Shop
`n Save, bigg's, Save-A-Lot, Scott's Foods, Laneco and Hornbacher's.

On July 2, 1997, SUPERVALU sold its remaining 46% ownership position
in ShopKo Stores, Inc. ("ShopKo"), its discount general merchandise
subsidiary, pursuant to two simultaneous transactions, a 8,174,387
share repurchase by ShopKo and a secondary public offering for the
remaining 6,557,280 ShopKo shares.

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 1998 (Exhibit 13), pages 14-19, which
description is incorporated herein by reference.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS

DESCRIPTION OF FOOD STORES SERVED. SUPERVALU food distribution regions
sell food and non-food products at wholesale and offer a variety of
retail support services to independently-owned retail food stores. At
February 28, 1998, the Company supplied approximately 4,800 retail
grocery and general merchandise stores (not including 701 Save-A-Lot
limited assortment

stores), compared with 4,300 stores (not including 611 Save-A-Lot
limited assortment stores) served at the end of fiscal 1997.
Save-A-Lot limited assortment stores are supplied separately from the
Company's traditional wholesale business.

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, regional and national chains and Company owned
stores, operating in a variety of formats including price superstores,
supercenters, fresh superstores, limited assortment stores, and
supermarkets.

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. Many stores offer one or more specialized services, such as
delis, 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 enlarging 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. The Company is also developing market-driving
capabilities which are intended to help independent retailers achieve
new growth by offering category management, an on-line pass through
allowance program, and other programs and services.

PRODUCTS SUPPLIED. SUPERVALU continues to supply retail food stores
with an increasing variety and selection of products, including
national and regional brands and the Company's own lines of private
label products. Such private label trademarks as FLAV-O-RITE, SHOPPERS
VALUE, NATURE'S BEST, HOME BEST, BI-RITE, FOODLAND, PREFERRED
SELECTION, SWEET LIFE, and others accounted for approximately eight
percent of the Company's fiscal 1998 sales to independent retail food
supermarkets. See also "Retail Food Operations - Private Label
Program" for a description of the Company's principal corporate retail
formats private label programs.

SUPERVALU supplies private label merchandise over a broad range of
products included in 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 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
promoting private label programs to maximize sales and produce profit
advantage.

Hazelwood Farms Bakeries, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company,
manufactures frozen dough and par baked bakery products primarily for
the supermarket in-store bakery and foodservice business channels.
Hazelwood Farms' customer base includes wholesale food distributors,
supermarket chains (including company-owned, affiliated and
non-affiliated stores), quick service restaurant chains and other
foodservice establishments in the U.S. and Canada.

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 has
reexamined its pricing structure and has developed a new pricing
approach to retailers called Activity Based Sell ("ABS"). The primary
objectives of ABS are to reflect the net product price plus fees to
recover the Company's cost to serve the retailer and to earn an
adequate profit margin. In fiscal 1998, the Company implemented ABS
pricing for retailers serviced through three distribution centers in
the Midwest region.

The Company seeks to continue lowering 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 purchasing power of larger product orders. The Company is
implementing a two-tiered distribution system to create a national
logistics network composed of its existing wholesale distribution
facilities plus regional distribution facilities which will provide
regional distribution for slow moving grocery product, general
merchandise and health and beauty care products. The Southeastern
Regional Facility, the Company's first regional distribution facility
located in Anniston, Alabama, became operational in June 1996 and
currently serves six existing Southeast distribution facilities. The
Company began construction of a second regional distribution facility
located in Ogelsby, Illinois in June 1996, which is planned to be open
in the summer of 1998 and is intended to serve 12 distribution centers
and three marketing regions in the Midwest. This two-tiered
distribution system is intended to increase buying scale, improve
operating efficiencies and lower cost of operations.

A new National Customer Service Center was established in Denver,
Colorado in the fall of 1996. The national service center was
established to replace divisional customer service functions for
retailers, facilitate rapid customer response and track and identify
ways to service the Company's retailers more efficiently. The National
Customer Service function is currently servicing customers in five of
the Company's seven regions.

SERVICES SUPPLIED. In addition to supplying merchandise, the Company
also offers retail customers 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, building design and construction services, financial and
budget planning, strategic and business planning, assistance in
selection and purchasing or leasing of store sites, consumer and
market research and personnel training and management assistance.
Certain Company subsidiaries operate as insurance agencies and provide
comprehensive insurance programs to the Company's affiliated
retailers.

The Company has realigned its wholesale food divisions into seven
marketing regions designed to reduce the cost of services to retailers
while maintaining contact with retailers and the ultimate consumer.
One such service intended to be offered to retailers is category
management, which is a process designed to align product assortment
with consumer preferences. Category management efforts have been
accelerating, with the Company currently in various phases of
implementation with various independent retailers. In addition, the
Company is beginning to roll out an on-line pass through vendor
allowance program referred to as the Category Management Allowance
Program ("CMAP"). CMAP is designed to maximize vendor allowances by
demonstrating compliance with pricing levels or displays and market
performance by individual store or group of stores.

The Company may provide financial assistance to retail stores served
or to be served by it, including the acquisition, leasing 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

PRINCIPAL CORPORATE RETAIL FORMATS. At fiscal year end, the Company's
retail businesses operated a total of 328 retail stores, including
price superstores, supercenters, fresh superstores, limited assortment
stores and supermarkets. These diverse formats enable the Company to
operate in a variety of markets under widely differing competitive
circumstances.

At the close of fiscal 1998, the Company's retail stores operated
under the following principal corporate formats:

CUB FOODS consists of 114 price superstores located in 13 states, 61
of which are franchised to independent retailers and 53 of which are
corporately operated. Plans for fiscal 1999 include the opening of
five corporate stores and two franchised stores.

SHOP `N SAVE consists of 32 price superstores located principally in
the metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri market. Three new Shop `n Save
price superstores (two of which are replacement stores) are planned
for fiscal 1999.

BIGG'S consists of seven supercenters and three price superstores that
operate in the Cincinnati, Louisville and Denver metropolitan markets.
bigg's was acquired by the Company in August 1994. No new bigg's
stores are planned for fiscal 1999.

SAVE-A-LOT is the Company's combined wholesale and retail limited
assortment operation. At fiscal year end there were 701 Save-A-Lot
limited assortment stores located in 31 states, of which 142 were
corporately operated. Save-A-Lot projects adding approximately 140
stores in fiscal 1999, including 30 corporately owned stores and 110
licensed units.

SCOTT'S FOODS is an 18-store group located in the Fort Wayne, Indiana
area. One new store is planned for fiscal 1999.

LANECO operates a diverse mix of 19 retail outlets comprised
predominantly of supermarkets, supercenters and discount food stores
located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These stores operate mainly
under the LANECO AND FOODLAND names and formats. No new stores are
planned for fiscal 1999.

HORNBACHER'S is a five-store group located in the Fargo, North Dakota
area, with no new stores planned for fiscal 1999.

Other store formats operated by the Company include COUNTY MARKET,
SUPERVALU, IGA, and BUTSON'S.

PRIVATE LABEL PROGRAM. Private label products continue to be a focus
of SUPERVALU's principal corporate retail formats which are expanding
their private label item selection. Approximately 85 percent of the
sales by the Company's Save-A-Lot limited assortment operations
consist of Save-A-Lot created or controlled brands. Cub Foods, bigg's
and Scott's Foods are in the process of developing or have developed
proprietary name brands.

TRADEMARKS

The Company offers its customers the opportunity to franchise a
concept or license a servicemark. 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 licensor of
certain servicemarks such as CUB FOODS, SAVE-A-LOT, COUNTY MARKET,
SHOP `N SAVE, NEW MARKET, SUPERVALU, IGA, FOODLAND and SUPERVALU FOOD
& DRUG. The Company registers a substantial number of its
trademarks/servicemarks in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, including many of its private label product trademarks and
servicemarks. See "Food Distribution Operations -- Products Supplied".
The Company considers certain of its trademarks and servicemarks to be
of material importance to its business and actively defends and
enforces such trademarks and servicemarks.

COMPETITION

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 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 "Food Distribution Operations -- Distribution and
Costs of Merchandise" and "--Services Supplied." The success of the
Company's wholesale food business is also dependent upon the ability
of independent retail store operators and the Company's retail food
business to compete successfully with other retail food stores.

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, various formats selling prepared foods, and specialty and
discount retailers.

EMPLOYEES

At February 28, 1998, the Company had approximately 48,000 employees.
Approximately 16,000 employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements. During fiscal year 1998, 19 agreements covering 3,800
employees were re-negotiated without any work stoppage. In fiscal
1999, 11 contracts covering approximately 1,600 employees will expire.
The Company believes that it has generally good relationships with its
employees.

INVESTMENTS

The Company has ownership interests in business ventures related to
its food distribution and retail segments, which include investments
in Waremart, Inc. and Super Discount Markets, Inc. The results of
these investments are accounted for using the equity method. The
aggregate carrying amount of these investments is less than 2% of
total assets.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company's principal 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.

During fiscal 1998, the Company sold One Southwest Crossing, a 240,000
square foot office facility which is located within one mile of its
principal executive offices. In connection with this sale, the Company
leased approximately 97,400 square feet of office space from the
purchaser to continue to office employees of the Company at this
facility.

The following table lists the location, use and approximate size of
