Winco Coupons

In 1985, the WinCo Foods Employee Stock Ownership Trust (Employee Pension Plan), headed by then president Bill Long and with full support of store personnel and management, purchased from the Ward family a majority interest of WinCo, giving WinCo employees a real ownership stake in the company. The company continued its rapid growth and by 2000 had replaced a majority of its retail stores with updated and expanded facilities. In 1998, WinCo opened a new 900,000 square foot grocery and perishable distribution center in Woodburn, Oregon and in May of 2000 opened a 110,000 square foot health and beauty, gourmet and non-food distribution center in Myrtle Creek, Oregon. More recently in June of 2004, WinCo opened an over 700,000 square foot grocery and perishable distribution center in Modesto, California and in 2009 another one in Boise, Idaho that allowed for an expansion into Utah. In October 19th of 2009 WinCo started its expansion into Utah (the first venture into a new state since the purchase of 1985) by opening the first two ever WinCo Foods stores in the state on the same day (Midvale City and West Valley City). Later in 2010 the company plans to return to an area it once occupied under the banner of Waremart Food Centers, Ogden, UT while continuing to expand its presence in the state by breaking ground in other cities. WinCo is also currently executing a remodeling and expansion plan to many of its older facilities throughout the chain. For over 40 years WinCo Foods has fostered a tradition of success by focusing on very large stores with a wide selection of national brands at prices below our competition. In addition, the very nature of having employee stockholders that have seen their Employee Stock Ownership Plan (Pension Plan) grow at a 21.51% annual compound growth rate creates an extremely dedicated workforce. This has made WinCo a very successful company, one which in 1998 was listed as #266th on Forbes Magazine's List of 500 largest Privately Held Companies and most recently in 2009 climbed to the 92nd spot on the list. WinCo is continuing this record of success, now operating 71 stores in six states (Washington, Idaho, California, Nevada, Oregon and Utah) with over 13,000 employees and continues to grow by opening new stores and adding new members to the company every year.
