Coborn\u2019s Inc. of St. Cloud, Minnesota is acquiring Sullivan\u2019s Foods, according to WJON radio in St. Cloud.
Sullivan\u2019s Foods has 11 grocery stores, including locations in Princeton<\/a> and Mendota<\/a>, among other holdings. All 800 employees will be hired by Coborn\u2019s and make the transition. Coborn\u2019s said the locations still will operate under the Sullivan\u2019s Foods name going forward, according to the report.
The purchase is expected to close in May, reported WJON radio. The transaction will push Coborn\u2019s portfolio to 77 locations.
Sullivan\u2019s Foods started in 1967. John Sullivan took a part-time job as a meat cutter while serving in the U.S. Army and then bought his own store when he moved to Savanna, Illinois with his wife June. The company has since expanded to the central and northern parts of Illinois.
The acquisition was announced late Friday afternoon.
