These excerpts taken from the SVU 10-K filed Apr 28, 2009. Trademarks
The Company offers some independent retail customers the
opportunity to franchise a concept or license a service mark.
This program helps these customers compete by providing, as part
of the franchise or license program, a complete business
concept, group advertising, private-label products and other
benefits. The Company is the franchisor or licensor of certain
service marks such as CUB FOODS,
SAVE-A-LOT,
SENTRY, FESTIVAL FOODS, COUNTY MARKET, SHOP ’N SAVE,
NEWMARKET, FOODLAND, JUBILEE, SUPERVALU and SUPERVALU PHARMACIES.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a
trademark license agreement with Albertson’s LLC, the
purchaser of the non-core supermarket business of Albertsons,
under which Albertson’s LLC may use legacy Albertsons
trademarks, such as ALBERTSONS, SAV-ON and LUCKY. Under the
trademark license agreement, Albertson’s LLC is also
allowed to enter into sublicense agreements with transferees of
Albertson’s LLC stores, which allows such transferees to
use many of the same legacy Albertsons trademarks.
