Disambiguation: Shoppers Drug Mart, Shoppers World, Shoppers Stop

Shoppers Food & Pharmacy, formerly Shoppers Food Warehouse, is a discount supermarket chain with 25 stores in Maryland and Northern Virginia. The chain was formed in 1980 as a warehouse grocer concept pioneered by Jumbo Food Market. The chain was bought by SuperValu in 1999.

Store numbering
Prior to SuperValu's acquisition of Richfood, Shoppers instituted a chronological store numbering format originating from Jumbo. In order to differentiate Shoppers from other chains in the SuperValu portfolio, a 4-digit numbering system was adopted.
