The store is located in a mostly empty shopping center with a Family Dollar store next door and a handful of other independent stores. However, the Save-A-Lot store stays busy nearly all hours of the day. In a marked contrast to the atmosphere of a typical suburban supermarkets, an armed security guard stands at the front of the store. "By moving into spaces where other grocery stores have closed or in lower-end centers where others won't go, Save-A-Lot is paying a pretty low rent,"

Sounds absolutely lovely.

Wife used to refuse to enter the Sav-a-lot(and later the Grocery Outlet) because its where poor people go. Well the Publix was closed and WalMart too far so she went there finally and noticed that she got through the lines faster and it was less cluttered and cheaper. She decided she likes it.
