Cash Saver opening leads flurry of activity for Pyramid Foods

Posted online
Pyramid Foods is scheduled to open a new Springfield Cash Saver store this month, the start of a series of development plans for the grocery store company.

Dubbed King Cash Saver, the 1707 W. Battlefield Road store is slated to open Sept. 16 at a former Dillons, said Pyramid Foods spokesman Charlie Dunn.

The store on 4.8 acres would employ 150 to 200, he said.

“It’s a cost-plus format, which basically means you pay our cost and at the register we add 10 percent to your bill,” Dunn said, declining to disclose renovation costs for the store.

The grocery store marks the fourth Cash Saver owned by Pyramid Foods, which also operates one each in Ozark, Lamar and Baxter Springs, Kan. The company does not own the Cash Saver store at 2650 W. Kearney St. The Cash Saver concept was founded in Memphis, Tenn.

The Battlefield Road store is one of four former Dillons properties Pyramid Foods bought after Dillons left the market late last year.

Dunn said after its new Cash Saver opens, the company would focus on two Save-A-Lot grocery store at its former 717 W. Commercial St. and 1730 S. Campbell Ave. stores. He said although a Planet Fitness is opening at the former Campbell store, enough room was leftover to launch a Save-A-Lot at the location. Both stores are slated to open by the end of the year.

Dunn confirmed plans first reported by KY3 that Pyramid Foods would open a natural foods concept at the old Dillons at 2843 E. Sunshine St. He declined to provide further details, but the KY3 report indicated a November or December opening date for the concept.

The natural foods store would be the final former Dillons to be occupied.
