Eastern United States , including 35 throughoutWest Virginia , 2 in southwesternVirginia , 26 in the Pittsburgh area of westernPennsylvania , 8 in easternKentucky , 6 in southeasternOhio , and 3 in the panhandle of westernMaryland . Their slogan is "Close to Home." Foodland stores are usually smaller in size with one of the larger stores located inKittanning, Pennsylvania . The Kittanning andFord City, Pennsylvania stores were the original Metrosplash/Fuellinks test sites for their previous gas program which was changed to the Fueland Rollback Rewards program.Every FoodLand location is locally owned and operated, with inventory support from
SuperValu . To compete with other grocery chains such asGiant Eagle and Shop 'n Save, FoodLand has partnered with Fueland gas stations/convenience stores in the greater Pittsburgh area. All FueLand locations are located just outside the grocery store.The "FoodLand" name
"FoodLand" is also the name of at least three regional supermarket chains in the United States, the other two being in
Hawaii , where a different but unrelated Foodland has stores there, while an undetermined number of stores located particularly inAlabama , share the same logo as the West Virginia-based chain but appear to be otherwise separate.The name "Foodland," being fairly generic in nature and apparently not a
registered trademark , appears as all or part of the name of countless unaffiliated grocery stores throughout the United States, as well as inAustralia ,Canada ,Iceland andThailand [http://www.foodland.co.th/contactus.htm|]External links
