		Spartan is the nation's seventh largest grocery wholesaler which serves approximately 500 independently owned grocery stores in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.
		Spartan sees the role of the wholesaler evolving to one of a network optimizer who coordinates the logistics of their activities, their suppliers activities, and their retailers activities, to minimize cost and the time of shipments.
		Spartan is a practical example of what Malone and Crowston in their paper titled "The interdisciplinary Study of Coordination" refers to as a coordination challenge.

		Spartan Stores cannot assure you that any such refinancing would be possible or that any such sales of assets or additional financing could be completed, or completed on terms favorable to Spartan Stores.
		Spartan Stores' success is in large part dependent upon the ability of its company-owned stores and the other grocery stores it supplies to compete with the larger grocery store and convenience store chains.
		Spartan Stores' convenience store distribution business competes with a number of convenience store wholesalers, including EBY Brown Company, McLane Company, Inc. and S. Abraham and Sons, Inc.

		Spartan had been primary supplier to all the acquired chains and most chain owners involved have stock interests in Spartan.
		Industry experts say it is likely that Spartan will continue to acquire member chains, partly as a way for chain owners to liquidate as they move towards retirement, and partly to preserve its position as supplier to those stores.

	PL Buyer: The Authority on Private Label Retailing; by Stagnito Communications, Inc.
		In years past, the Spartan Stores organization had a very segmented structure with a wholesale team, a retail team and a private label team, a design that was inefficient and did not allow Spartan Stores to effectively use the tools of category management.
		Spartan looked carefully at national brand packaging when planning the yogurt launch, realizing that a significant cost-savings was possible with a simpler foil-lid closure, eliminating the plastic lid used on one of the leading national brands.
		Spartan employees have taken to the shift in philosophy, executives agree, and the future is bright for Spartan Stores’ private label program.
