Owner

FoodMaxx sells an assortment of both private brands and national brands at low prices. To curtail costs, the grocer offered customers the option to buy bags to sack their groceries, and also used alternative display and stocking techniques, such as cut cases on shelves.

History

FoodMaxx began in 1986, when Save Mart's then-CEO Bob Piccinini saw the potential of the no-frills grocery store concept which offered the same products at a fraction of the price. Piccinini opened two new Food 4 Less stores in the Fresno Area. [6]

After the success of the two new Food 4 Less stores, the first FoodMaxx was opened in Fresno, California in 1989. By 2000, 15 FoodMaxx stores were offering the highest quality products at the lowest possible costs. By 2003, the FoodMaxx brand had doubled in the number of locations after acquiring 25 Food 4 Less stores and rebranding them as FoodMaxx. [6]

Grocery delivery

The company offers grocery delivery through Amazon and DoorDash. [7] [8]

Locations

There are currently 51 store locations in California and 2 in Nevada. [1]

Most stores have an in-store bakery and deli.
