ST. LOUIS, MO (July 18, 2025) – As part of its ongoing strategic collaboration, Save A Lot, one of the largest discount grocery chains in the U.S., announced Leevers Supermarkets debut of a new store format called Save A Lot y Mas. Their store located in Overland, MO builds upon their connection to the Hispanic community with culturally relevant products, signage and value pricing. Save A Lot y Mas offers an expanded selection of fresh Hispanic produce, specialty meats and locally-source baked goods. The Leevers and Save A Lot team hosted a carnival in the store’s parking lot to mark the introduction of this new format. Customers enjoyed live music, a taco truck, and other festivities.
Save A Lot y Mas aims to create a more inclusive shopping experience for Spanish-speaking customers. Throughout the store, Spanish is prominently featured on all in-store signs, meat products and coupon promotions.
“Save A Lot y Mas is part of our ongoing concept development efforts to better meet the needs of Hispanic shoppers,” said Jon Koontz, Chief Operating Officer at Leevers Supermarkets. “We’re excited to bring these offerings to the vibrant St. Louis community. Using what we learn here, and in our locations in Colorado, we hope to be able to bring insights about how best to serve this growing customer base to the broader Save A Lot network.”
The new concept, with two additional locations in Colorado, will operate as a test-and-learn format with the potential for further openings at other Save A Lot locations that serve a large Hispanic customer base.
Save A Lot y Mas in Overland is open daily from 6 a.m. – 9 p.m. Customers can learn more by visiting SaveALot.com.
