Ted: Save-a-Lot mostly has its own off-brands. They're also known for generally taking over other grocery buildings.

In response to tonkatoy's comment, here's what I figured out is going on today: There is a spot next to Save-A-Lot #490 that appears to be becoming a Citi Trends (but the thing of it is: the signage isn't the typical teal Citi Trends coloring so we'll have to see how it turns out) The shopping Center is essentially a sideways 'L' shape and the end with RadioShack/the Pawn Shop is getting new facade/storefront work done on it (which is the bottom) The end with Rent-A-Center and Dollar General appears to be untouched at this point I am not 100% sure how the final product is going to shake down but here's what I deduced is going on based on tonaktoy

Lot of work going on in this strip mall. Chinese restaurant closed, pawn shop and Radio Shack are getting work done on the front of the stores, and it looks like something is going in next to Sav-a-Lot.

A few made the move, but I'm pretty sure they are all gone by now.

@Harold, did any of the associates at the time make the move to Reid's? I went in the Reid's once a while back and everyone was so pleasant. I wouldn't mind going back there but haven't had a chance to yet.

I was the Assistant Mgr at this Food Lion when it closed. We actually closed it the third week of August '09.
The associates of this store hated to see it close.
Lease on this building at the time was dirt cheap, and a great location.

ok folks I have seen the Save-A-Lot signage, etc. go in and I was told after contacting their corporate, they are currently planning to open up on January 27. Food Lion (rebranded as Reid's) brought some new life into Cayce Commons and now Save-A-Lot will fill the Airport Square void...

This store is re-opening as a Sav-A-Lot. The signage is up, but they appear to be reworking the interior of the store.
