On February 24, 2017, Remke Markets announced that it would be acquired by Generative Growth, LLC and managed by affiliated company Fresh Encounter, Inc.

As a hypermarket, in addition to groceries it sold clothing, general merchandise, lumber, shoes, bedding, furniture, jewelry, beauty products, electronics, toys, garden supplies and housewares.

Bigg's attempted an expansion into the western United States in 1989 with a 250,000 sq ft (23,000 m2) location in the Denver, Colorado, suburb of Thornton.

The company has been facing financial losses due to increasing competition with other brands such as Walmart, Meijer and Kroger.

Since then, Kaczynski has taken over five stores that have been remodeled to their new Premium, Fresh & Healthy formats, that have proved to be highly successful and profitable.

In 2009, Kaczynski left, and on March 29, 2010, SuperValu announced that it would be selling six Bigg's locations to Remke Markets and would close the remaining five.
