Lucky Supermarkets is a Northern California-based supermarket chain owned by The Save Mart Companies. Founded in 1935 in San Leandro, California, the chain primarily operates throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Lucky Supermarkets was originally part of American Stores until 1999 when it was acquired by Albertsons. In 2006, Save Mart Supermarkets purchased the Northern California division of Albertsons, which included the Lucky brand name and stores. The company rebranded its stores back to the Lucky name in 2007, reviving the well-known regional brand. Lucky Supermarkets typically features full-service departments including produce, meat, seafood, bakery, and deli sections. The stores also offer conventional grocery items, household goods, and pharmacy services in select locations. Lucky Supermarkets maintains a significant presence in urban and suburban areas throughout Northern California, with most stores ranging from 40,000 to 60,000 square feet in size. The chain emphasizes competitive pricing and fresh products, continuing its historical positioning as a neighborhood grocery store. The company employs thousands of workers across its locations and participates in various community initiatives throughout its operating region.
