Darioush Khaledi, the chairman and CEO of K.V. Mart, said his company continues to operate 11 supermarkets under the Top Valu and Buy Low banners, with "no plan to sell any others."

In fact, he said K.V. Mart plans to "extensively remodel" six of its remaining locations.

The company recently opened a new 80,000-square-foot warehouse and moved into a new headquarters in Anaheim, he said.
