Affiliated Foods Southwest was a cooperative wholesale food distributor in Little Rock, Arkansas. The company, which specialized in serving the Mid-South independent grocer market, is currently in receivership. One division of the company still in business is Supermarket Investors Inc., which owns a number of Harvest Foods, Piggly-Wiggly, and Sav-Marts in Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma.
The company was founded in 1956. Into the early 21st century it was one of the largest employers in Pulaski County.
