Supervalu Inc. says it has begun the
previously announced closure of about 50 of its stores nationwide,
including four Cub Foods stores in Wisconsin.

      Company spokeswoman Haley Meyer says that in the past few days
Supervalu has advised its employees in the targeted stores of the
closures.

      Meyers says the company is working with those employees to find
them other jobs in Supervalu, which includes Albertsons, Cub Foods,
Shop 'n Save, Shaws Star and other stores.

      Last week, Supervalu said in its third quarter report that it
would close about 50 stores in its fiscal 2009 fourth quarter and
will open fewer stores and scale back on remodeling stores to save
money.
