SUPERVALU Announces Consolidation of Logistics Network in the Eastern Region

      Company Also Announces New Site for Supply Chain Automation
                              Technology


    MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 14, 2007--SUPERVALU (NYSE:SVU)
announced today that it will enhance its logistics network in the
eastern United States by consolidating distribution centers. The
company will merge its Easton, Pa., Harrisburg, Pa., and Perryman,
Md., operations into its Lancaster, Pa. facility. In conjunction with
this effort, the company has identified the Lancaster distribution
center as the newest location for automated technology. By
consolidating warehouse volume and incorporating automation technology
into the seven year old, 1.4 million-square-foot Lancaster facility,
the company will be positioned to optimize its distribution network
and leverage technology for improved efficiencies.

    "Our overall vision is to deliver the best supply chain services
to our corporate and independent retailers. This project enhances our
commitment toward that vision. Leveraging the efficiencies of the
combined company is one of the inherent benefits of our expanded
network," said Janel Haugarth, SUPERVALU executive vice president, and
president and chief operating officer of the company's Supply Chain
Services group.

    As a result of this consolidation, the company expects to incur
total after-tax charges over three years in the range of $30 to $35
million. Included in this estimate is approximately $23 to $26 million
for lease exit costs related to the leased property as well as
severance and other employee related costs. The company expects to
recognize after-tax charges of approximately $5 million in fiscal
2007, approximately $21 to $24 million in fiscal 2008 and
approximately $4 to $6 million thereafter. These charges are
components of the previously disclosed total one-time transaction
costs associated with the acquisition of Albertson's retail
properties. Start-up costs associated with implementing the supply
chain automation technology are expected to be minimal in fiscal 2008
and are not included in the one-time transaction costs. Capital costs
associated with the technology installation are included in
SUPERVALU's total $1.2 billion fiscal 2008 capital program.

    SUPERVALU expects the entire project will take approximately three
years to complete. During this time, customers will be serviced from
existing facilities while the Lancaster facility is modified, which
will include system standardization and technology installation and
testing.

    Commenting on this important initiative, Jeff Noddle, SUPERVALU
chairman and chief executive officer, said "One of our publicly stated
milestones of the acquisition is to optimize our expanded supply chain
infrastructure. The decision to combine the consolidation with the
installation of the supply chain automation technology represents an
additional opportunity to deliver long-term strategic benefits. Supply
chain optimization is a component of our overall synergy range
identified with the acquisition. We still expect our total synergies
of $150 to $175 million pretax, to be at their full run rate by the
end of the third full year following the acquisition or fiscal 2010."
