The company, which operates in store names including Save Mart, Lucky California and FoodMaxx, was bought by private equity firm Kingswood Capital Management in March after being family-owned for about 70 years. 

“Our Save Mart and Lucky Pharmacy staff will work closely with their patients to make this transition of services as convenient and seamless as possible,” Save Mart spokesperson Victoria Castro told Becker’s. 

Walgreens is working with Save Mart to retain the grocery chain’s pharmacy workers, Ms. Castro said.
