Associated Food Stores’ 2025 Spring Case Lot Sale is in full swing, generating excitement among shoppers and store teams. This long-standing tradition highlights the power of teamwork and the commitment to delivering exceptional value to customers.
The two-week sale impacts nearly every part of AFS, from buying and logistics to distribution and in-store execution. Retail teams dedicate hours to unloading shipments and carefully building displays according to strategic plans. It’s a true team effort, with members from multiple departments coming together to ensure a smooth and successful sale.
“It’s great to be part of it all coming together,” said Steve Skinner, district manager. “It makes you grateful for the buying team, logistics, the distribution center, the drivers, the advertising and marketing teams, and so many others. Hats off to the entire team for getting us in a great position for success.”
Case lot sales have evolved with technology, and the eCommerce team has played a crucial role in expanding the sale’s reach. Customers can now take advantage of the same great deals online, placing orders from home while store teams seamlessly manage both in-store and online fulfillment.
For AFS, this sale is about more than just promotions—it’s about providing real value. In today’s economic climate, helping families stock up on essentials at lower prices is more important than ever. From buyers securing the best deals to store teams ensuring a smooth shopping experience, every aspect of the sale reflects AFS’ dedication to its customers.
A special thanks goes to store teams for their tireless work—not just in setting up displays but also in assisting guests through checkout and helping load bulk purchases into cars. Their efforts leave a lasting impact, reinforcing AFS’ reputation for outstanding service.
As the sale continues, Macey’s, Dan’s, Lin’s, Dick’s Market, Fresh Market, and dozens of member stores remain focused on delivering quality products and unbeatable value.
“Thanks to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved, the case lot sale is yet another demonstration of ‘One Associated’, its guests, and communities,” said Greg Welling, vice president of retail operations for ARO.
AFS and ARO team members can also enjoy extra savings during the event. By using Team Perks, they receive an additional 10% off their own grocery purchases, making the sale even more rewarding.
