Professional Journey

Saver Group operates grocery stores under the Save A Lot banner from a corporate office in Campbellsville, Kentucky. Its stated mission is “customer focused service at the best possible price in the cleanest environment”. It is privately owned by Larry Noe and Dale and Wendell Combs, according to Supermarket News.

DeFisher appears in the public record as the company’s chief operating officer in 2023. That spring Saver Group was reopening stores in Kentucky. In March it brought the Save A Lot banner back to Prestonsburg, taking over a former Just Save Foods supermarket at 525 Village Drive. In May it reopened its store in Carlisle, which had been shut since torrential rain flooded and wrecked its interior in the summer of 2021 and had to be rebuilt. At both events DeFisher appeared alongside Save A Lot’s chief executive, Leon Bergmann, and the Saver Group owners, with the local chambers of commerce.

Saver Group now lists him as Chief Executive Officer, heading a management team that includes a chief financial officer, senior operations supervisors for four regional divisions (Wildcat, Buckeye, Gateway and Mountain), and directors for perishables, non-perishables, tobacco and human resources. No announcement giving the date of his move from chief operating officer to chief executive was found.
