Bull and Company, a dry goods wholesaler serving Minneapolis, St. Paul and surrounding rural communities. Though B.S. Bull was short lived, its founders went on to create similar enterprises. In 1926, these kindred companies joined to form Winston and Newell Company, the direct parent of Supervalu. In 2006, the company acquired the Albertsons chain for $17.4 billion in stock and debt assumption. Benefits * Medical insurance through managed care
