Item 1. Business.
General
Schultz Sav-O Stores, Inc. ("Company") is engaged in distributing food and related products at wholesale and retail. As of December 30, 1995, the Company franchised 66 and owned 19 retail supermarkets under the Piggly Wiggly/R/ name in its Eastern Wisconsin and Northeastern Illinois market area. While the Company has a presence in some larger metropolitan areas, it has attempted to develop a niche for serving the food shopping needs of customers in smaller and suburban communities within its market areas.
The Company is the primary supplier to its 85 franchised and corporate owned Piggly Wiggly supermarkets. The Company also serves as a wholesaler to a number of small, independently operated retail supermarkets in its market area.
The Company supplies a variety of products to its franchised and corporate supermarkets and other wholesale customers primarily from its warehouse and distribution center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The Company also provides its franchised and corporate supermarkets and other customers with fresh, frozen and processed meat, eggs and deli products from a third-party distribution facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on a contract basis. Additionally, the Company bottles carbonated soft drinks, fruit drinks and drinking and distilled water under its Springtime label and supplies these products to its franchised and corporate supermarkets and other wholesale customers.
The Company is a Wisconsin corporation organized in 1912.
Wholesale Operations
For several years the Company has been emphasizing its more profitable wholesale distribution business and the associated expansion of its franchise store base, while also effecting changes to its corporate retail operations to improve profitability. As part of implementing this corporate strategy, the Company has sold and converted 11 underperforming corporate retail supermarkets into franchise units and added 12 new replacement or new market franchise supermarkets since 1991. In 1995, there were 7 franchise expansion projects in process, resulting in 6 completed expansions and 1 expansion that will be completed in early 1996. Additionally, in 1995, 3 replacement stores were completed and 3 replacement stores are expected to be completed in 1996. Finally, in 1995, 1 new market franchise unit was completed and 2 new market franchise units are projected to be completed in 1996. These expansion, replacement and new market franchise projects added approximately 98,000 square feet of store space in 1995, and are projected to add approximately 87,000 square feet in 1996 if all scheduled projects are completed.
The following table shows the Company's development of, and changes in, its franchised and corporate retail supermarkets for the periods presented:
During 1995, the Company established new earnings records, but sales decreased from the previous year. The increase in earnings was principally the result of continued improvements in the Company's wholesale operations, where the lower gross margins associated with wholesale sales were offset by the decreased operating and administrative expenses associated with previously sold retail operations.
The Company believes one of the competitive advantages it provides to its franchised supermarkets is its value-oriented customer merchandising and community-specific marketing support program, pursuant to which franchisees participate with corporate stores in systemwide promotions and other merchandising events. Through a variety of partnering, merchandising and marketing programs, the Company benefits its franchisees through additional sales resulting from heightened consumer name recognition and in-store merchandising programs, combined with special promotional pricing. Additional services include retail accounting, preparation of store payrolls, preparation of print, electronic and outdoor media advertising (including various point-of-sale materials), assistance in the selection and analysis of store locations, lease negotiations, store design, floor layout, merchandising planning, equipment selection, engineering and architectural services, retail technology implementation and support, labor planning and scheduling and product category supervision. Certain of such services are provided as part of the franchise relationship, and other services are provided for a separate fee intended to cover the Company's costs.
To maintain and improve its ability to be a low-cost supplier, in 1995 the Company installed a new computer-assisted buying system, implemented a truck routing system and installed on-board truck computers.
The Company is the primary supplier to all of its franchised and corporate supermarkets. The Company is also a wholesaler to a number of small, independently operated retail supermarkets in its market area, although less than 3% of the Company's 1995 net sales was derived from such operations. The volume provided by the Company's wholesale operations benefits its retail operations by enhancing the Company's purchasing power and enabling it to improve the efficiency of its distribution system.
Franchisees pay fees to the Company determined by the retail sales of their supermarkets. The Company does not charge an initial fee to the franchisee for granting a franchise. Consistent with industry practice, in certain situations, the Company provides credit enhancements to certain qualified franchisees by (i) leasing the franchisee's supermarket premises and/or equipment and, in turn, subleasing the premises and/or equipment to the franchisee and/or (ii) guaranteeing a portion of the franchisee's bank borrowings.
The Company owns the right to grant Piggly Wiggly franchises in its market areas, which includes designated counties in Eastern Wisconsin, Northeastern Illinois and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Company's right to grant franchises is exclusive in these areas, except that if there are less than 40 supermarkets in the franchise territory operated under the Piggly Wiggly and certain other names, the current franchisor has the right to operate for its own account, or to franchise, supermarkets in the territory under those names. As of December 30, 1995, there were 85 supermarkets operated in the Company's territory that satisfied this requirement. The Company's franchise rights are of unlimited duration and are not subject to any specific termination provision. The Company is not required to pay any additional franchise or other fees to the current franchisor. The only material obligation imposed on the Company is that the supermarkets operated under the Piggly Wiggly and other names must comply with the standards imposed on supermarkets in the Piggly Wiggly system. The Company believes its own franchised and corporate store standards exceed the Piggly Wiggly system standards.
Retail Operations
During 1995, a number of the Company's corporate retail stores continued not to meet financial performance goals. The Company closed its underperforming Palatine, Illinois corporate supermarket in February 1995. In order to improve the Company's results of operations, the Company continues to evaluate various business alternatives relating to these underperforming operations, including the sale and subsequent conversion of these stores into franchise units, closing the stores or implementing other operational changes.
The Company's franchised and corporate supermarkets stock a comprehensive selection of groceries, frozen foods, prepared foods, fresh produce, meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products. The Company's franchised and corporate supermarkets also allocate display space to non-food items, such as health and beauty aids, housewares, periodicals, video cassette rentals, flowers and plants, greeting cards and general merchandise. The Company's franchised and corporate supermarkets carry a broad range of branded merchandise and private label product alternatives to branded merchandise. In general, the private label products carried by the Company's franchised and corporate supermarkets have lower selling prices, but higher gross profit margins, than branded merchandise. Consistent with trends generally within the industry, the Company continues to experience increases in retail customer demand for private label store brands and believes its Topco line of private label products is satisfying this consumer trend. See "Purchasing and Distribution." Pricing differentials between 1995 and 1994 did not materially effect net sales.
In 1995, the Company introduced the Piggly Wiggly Preferred Club Card/R/, a new customer-friendly card-based marketing program. The Piggly Wiggly Preferred Club Card is intended to reward current customers and attract new customers by offering "clipless coupons" on weekly advertised specials and "automatic" savings on monthly store specials. The card also doubles as a check-cashing and video rental identification card. Initial test results have been very favorable for the Company's retail stores, and 11 of the Company's corporate and franchise stores are already operating with the program, with 54 additional stores currently planned for installation in 1996. The program was developed by the Company's Marketing and Retail Technology Groups and the Company currently plans to install the program in all of its corporate and franchise stores.
The Company's franchised supermarkets range in size from 8,340 square feet to 47,000 square feet, with an average of 23,720 square feet. The Company's corporate supermarkets range in size from 14,900 square feet to 46,250 square feet, with an average of 29,600 square feet. All of the Company's franchised and corporate supermarkets contain several perishable or specialty service departments, such as fresh and processed meat; take- home entrees and snacks; produce; fresh seafood; delicatessen; flowers and plants; and baked goods. A number of supermarkets also contain or provide for one or more of the following: wine and spirit sales; video rentals; TicketMaster/R/ ticket centers; in-house banking services; automated teller machines; and on-line debit and credit card check-out services.
Purchasing and Distribution
The Company purchases groceries in sufficient volume to qualify for favorable price brackets for most items. The Company purchases brand name grocery merchandise directly from the manufacturers or processors and purchases substantially all of its private label items through Topco Associates, Inc. ("Topco"). The Company purchases produce, meat and seafood from a variety of sources. Topco is a national purchasing cooperative whose member-owners consist of 42 regional supermarket chains who collectively operate approximately 3,500 stores. According to Topco data, its member-owners accounted for approximately 14% of United States grocery store sales volume in 1995. In 1995, purchases through Topco accounted for approximately 14% of the Company's total inventory purchases. The Company also purchases store and warehouse equipment and supplies, primarily bags and packaging material, through Topco. Topco's size and purchasing power enable it to employ large-volume, low-cost purchasing techniques on behalf of its member-owners, including the Company.
Approximately 77% of the products supplied to the Company's stores in 1995 were supplied from the Company and its direct contract third-party distribution centers. The remainder were supplied by direct store delivery vendors. The Company owns its 364,000 square foot warehouse and distribution center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. With the exception of fresh, frozen and processed meat, eggs and deli products, all products supplied by the Company are distributed from its Sheboygan facility. While the Company performs the buying function, a third-party contractor in Milwaukee, Wisconsin performs the warehousing and transportation for the Company's meat operations. The Company believes this arrangement has provided it with operating cost efficiencies and has enabled it to expand its wholesale product offerings and better satisfy wholesale customer delivery schedules through improved capacity.
As described above under "Wholesale Operations," the Company believes one of its competitive advantages is its community-oriented marketing programs. High visibility outdoor billboard advertising stress the value and customer service provided by the Company's local Piggly Wiggly supermarkets. The Company also sponsors local events and festivals throughout the marketing area to improve its Piggly Wiggly name recognition, such as the Midwest's largest fireworks display at Milwaukee's Summerfest lakefront music festival.
The Company operates a leased, full service trucking fleet, which consists of 25 tractors, 40 refrigerated trailers and 6 dry trailers. The Company augments its transportation requirements with temporary leasing arrangements as conditions warrant. On January 1, 1996, the Company formed PW Trucking, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to provide contract and common carrier services throughout a seven-state Midwest territory for the Company and other companies. Revenues from unrelated parties generated by this business are expected to be nominal in 1996.
Bottling Operations
The Company bottles carbonated soft drinks, fruit drinks and drinking and distilled water under its Springtime label. The Company also bottles soft drinks for several regional beverage distributors on a contract basis. The Company supplies these products to its franchised and corporate supermarkets and independent supermarket customers. The Company's bottling facility occupies approximately 5,000 square feet within its Sheboygan warehouse and distribution center. The sale of these products accounted for less than 1% of the Company's 1995 net sales.
Competition
The wholesale and retail food industry is highly competitive. At the wholesale level, the Company competes with regional and national wholesalers, such as Fleming Companies, Inc., SuperValu Inc., Roundy's, Inc. and Nash Finch Co. In addition to price, product quality and variety, competitive factors include credit support to customers and the provision of various support services, such as advertising; accounting and financial services; merchandising; facilities engineering, design and project management; and retail technology support. The Company believes that the location of its Sheboygan warehouse and distribution facility and the wide range of support and marketing services provided to its franchised and corporate retail supermarkets allow it to provide prompt and efficient low-priced, high-quality products and important supplemental services to its franchised and corporate supermarkets and other customers.
The degree of competition at the retail level varies with store location. In most of its franchised and corporate supermarket locations, the Company competes primarily with local retail operators, virtually all of whom are affiliated with competing wholesalers through arrangements similar to the Company's franchisees. In its remaining supermarket locations, the Company competes with national and regional retail chain stores, such as Sentry Food Stores, Pick 'N Save, Cub Foods, Jewel Food Stores, Dominicks Finer Foods, Copp's Supermarkets and Kohl's Food Stores. Other competitors include the general merchandise, wholesale club and supercenter format stores of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., K Mart Corp. and ShopKo. Principal retail competitive factors include price, product quality and variety, store location and appearance and the extent of a store's perishable product and service departments. The Company believes its supermarkets' emphasis on low-cost, high-quality products, community- based multi-media marketing and merchandising programs and a high degree of in-store customer service and friendliness provide its franchised and corporate supermarkets with a competitive advantage in many of their retail market areas.
Certain of the Company's competitors at both the wholesale and retail level may have a competitive advantage resulting from utilizing lower-cost, non-union workforces. Certain of the Company's competitors have greater financial resources and marketing budgets than the Company. Also, certain competitors using the general merchandise, wholesale club format or supercenter format may choose to carry and market a less extensive variety of products for which they may choose to sell such items at a lower per unit cost than the Company.
Employees
As of December 30, 1995, the Company employed approximately 1,600 persons, of whom approximately 1,150 were employed in the operation of the Company's corporate retail supermarkets. A majority of the Company's corporate retail employees are employed on a part-time basis. Of the Company's remaining employees, approximately 225 are engaged in warehousing and trucking activities and the remainder are corporate and administrative personnel. The Company is currently negotiating new collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 75 retail clerks and meat cutters to replace agreements that expired in November 1995. The Company and employees are continuing to operate under the terms of the expired contract while the new contract is negotiated. Four separate collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 120 total retail clerks and meat cutters expire at different times throughout 1996. The Company's collective bargaining agreement covering the approximately 225 warehouse and trucking employees at its Sheboygan distribution facility expires in February 1997. The Company does not currently anticipate any strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns in connection with renewing such agreements.

Item 2.

Item 2. Properties.
As is customary in the Company's industry, a substantial portion of the Company's capital assets are leased. As of December 30, 1995, the Company leased 17 of its corporate supermarkets and owned 2 supermarkets. The leased supermarkets range in size from 14,900 to 41,200 square feet, with an average of 29,060 square feet.
The Company generally leases its supermarkets from nonaffiliated real estate developers under long-term leases. Such leases generally contain initial terms of 15 to 20 years with several five-year renewal options. None of such existing lease arrangements contain Company repurchase options nor is the land underlying any of such supermarkets owned by the Company. No leases are scheduled to expire in 1996. As of December 30, 1995, the Company subleased 47 of its leased supermarkets, and leased 2 owned supermarkets, to independent operators who are wholesale customers of the Company and, except for one, are also franchisees.
Renovations and expansions continue at 3 franchise retail operations. These renovations involve 1 addition to an existing franchise store, and 2 replacement franchise units. Additionally, two new market franchise retail operations are expected to be completed in 1996. These projects are expected to add approximately 49,000 square feet of store space.
The Company owns its warehouse/distribution center and headquarters complex in Sheboygan, Wisconsin which occupies approximately nine acres of a 16-acre site owned by the Company. The facility provides approximately 30,500 square feet of space for offices and related activities, approximately 364,000 square feet of warehouse space and approximately 5,000 square feet for the Company's bottling facility. The Company also leases approximately 4,500 square feet of office space in Sheboygan under a five-year lease expiring at the end of 1997, which is used for customer support services.
The Company owns approximately 22 acres of commercially zoned property in two Wisconsin communities. The Company has entered into brokerage arrangements for the development and sale of these properties.
