Super One Foods is a chain of Supermarkets, with 30 locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.〔 The chain is owned and operated by ''Miner's, Inc.'', a privately held company. A small number of the stores in the chain are branded as ''U-Save Foods'', and a Duluth store is named ''Woodland Marketplace''. ==History== In 1943, Tony and Ida Miner opened a tavern in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.〔 When Tony noticed that many customers left early in the evening so they could buy their bread and milk before their nearby grocery store closed for the day, he added a milk cooler and bread to the items he sold. Thus was the beginning of their entry into the grocery business.〔 Tony and Ida built their first grocery store, ''Miner´s Market'', on the west side of Grand Rapids. By 1954, the family had added on to the original store and changed the name to Piggly Wiggly.〔 In 1963, the Miners opened their second store in Virginia, Minnesota. Two years later, the family moved to Duluth and opened a third store in Duluth´s Woodland neighborhood. Shortly thereafter they made this location their headquarters because it was located close to one of their major suppliers.〔 Tony and Ida retired in 1975 and their son Jim became president of the company. Around this time, as the company was building a new warehouse in Duluth, the stores were re-branded with the name ''Super One''. The store in Cloquet, Minnesota was the first to receive a Super One sign in 1977. Since then, many other Super One locations have been opened, with a current total of 30.〔 In 2014, a large store on East Second Street in Superior, Wisconsin was opened. The project was delayed for over a year while the owner of adjacent real estate near the proposed site refused to sell.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fox21online.com/content/update-superior-homeowner-agrees-sell-after-holding-super-one-project )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Super One Foods」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
