Founded in 1982, the Carson-based grocery retailer operates 13 Bristol Farms stores and one Lazy Acres store in California.

“We look forward to returning to local and independent ownership with the opportunity to reinforce our commitment to our local vendors,” said Bristol Farms Chief Executive Kevin Davis in a statement.

Supervalu operates more than 200 Albertsons grocery stores in Southern California. Albertsons acquired Bristol Farms in 2004.
