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.
