History

Nash Finch started as a family-owned business back in 1885 when brothers Fred, Edgar, and Willis Nash opened a small candy and tobacco store in Devils Lake, North Dakota. The first non-family employee, Harry B. Finch, joined the Nash Brothers as a 14-year­-old stock boy in 1889 and worked his way up in the organization. In subsequent years, the company became known as the Nash Finch Company with Harry as the company president.

Established in 1917, Spartan Stores originated when 100 independent retailers united to offer bulk purchases, passing on savings to customers. In 1918, 43 retailers formed the Grand Rapids Wholesale Grocery Company. Over the years, both SpartanNash and Nash Finch expanded to retail and wholesale operations. In 1995, Nash Finch acquired Military Distributors of Virginia, marking the start of the commitment to serving military heroes.

SpartanNash was formed when Spartan Stores, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan merged with the Nash Finch Company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota in November of 2013. Both companies have long and rich histories of serving their communities. In 2017, SpartanNash acquired Caito Foods and BRT, enhancing fresh produce distribution and logistics.

Headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan, SpartanNash also has offices in Minneapolis, Indianapolis, and Norfolk. They operate 147+ retail stores across 9 states, distribute to 2,100+ independent locations nationwide, and operate 12 distribution centers and seven military distribution centers, serving globally including DC, Columbia, Europe, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Bahrain, Djibouti, and Egypt.
