ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Catalina Marketing Corporation announced today the roll out of its Network into multiple retailers throughout the Midwest, Northeast and Southwest. The contracts with Nash Finch Company, Minyard Food Stores Inc., Gristede's Foods Inc. and Spartan Stores Inc.'s "The Pharm Stores" will expand the reach of the Catalina Marketing Network by more than 540 stores.

"Building and maintaining profitable customer relationships is particularly important to the independent retailers we service," said Ron Marshall, president and CEO of Nash Finch Stores. "The Catalina Marketing Network makes it easy and efficient for our performance driven retailers to get the right incentive in the hands of the right shopper, increasing the likelihood that she'll make a return visit."

"It is crucial that we are able to treat our customers as individuals.
