Independent Wholesale Business One of our areas of significant growth has been the success of our private independent sales. Dozens of communities are now served by vibrant and sustainable family-owned businesses, thanks to our growing Valufoods grocery and RiteSTOP convenience store banners. Valufoods and RiteSTOPs have become recognizable players on the regional scene. These initiatives help maintain ownership within the communities and provide appealing, exciting, and value-sensitive alternatives to consumers.   The Medicine Shoppe The Medicine Shoppe® is a community, service-orientated pharmacy.
