FoodLand

"FoodLand" is the name of at least two American supermarket chains.

One operates 29 stores throughout the state of Hawaii under the "FoodLand" and "Sack 'N Save" names. It is headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. "Food, Family & Friends" is their current slogan. The chain traces its roots back to 1948 when it opened its first store in Honolulu's Market City. By 1967 it would expand statewide. Today they are the only locally-owned supermarket chain in Hawaii.

The Eastern U.S. Foodland operates 90 stores throughout West Virginia, southwestern Virginia, western Pennsylvania, eastern Kentucky, southeastern Ohio, and the panhandle of Maryland. Their slogan is "Close to Home." Every FoodLand location is locally owned and operated, with inventory support from SuperValu. An undetermined number of stores located particularly in Alabama, share the same logo as the West Virginia-based chain but appear to be otherwise separate.

The name "Foodland," being fairly generic in nature and apparently not a registered trademark, appears as all or part of the name of countless unaffiliated grocery stores throughout the country.
