Homeland filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2002, at which point it was bought by and became a subsidiary of Associated Wholesale Grocers. The supermarkets still operate under the "Homeland" name.

In June 2007, Homeland purchased seven stores from the Albertsons grocery chain. [ [http://newsok.com/article/3098528 Final Albertsons signs taken down] , "The Oklahoman", August 4, 2007.]
