United Grocery Outlet

United Grocery Outlet (UGO) is a regional discount supermarket chain headquartered in Athens, Tennessee. Established in 1974, UGO specializes in offering significant savings on a wide range of grocery items. These include bakery goods, dairy products, deli items, frozen foods, general groceries, meat, produce, and snacks.

The company operates 41 retail locations across Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, and Virginia. This makes it the largest closeout grocer in the Southeastern United States.

Business Model

UGO's business model focuses on providing customers with quality products at extreme values. The company handles inventory imbalances, closeouts, packaging changes, close-dated products, factory seconds, and trial-run products.

This approach allows UGO to offer a diverse selection of name-brand items at discounted prices. It caters to budget-conscious shoppers seeking quality groceries.

Corporate Developments

In April 2024, Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. completed the acquisition of United Grocery Outlet, expanding its presence into the Southeastern United States.

This strategic move has enabled Grocery Outlet to leverage UGO's established operations and customer base. It further solidifies its position in the discount grocery retail sector.
