Supervalu is suing to keep a former executive from spilling secrets in his new job with a major competitor.
For about 15 months, Leon Bergmann was president of independent business at Eden Prairie-based Supervalu Inc. (NYSE: SVU), where he led the company's food and service sales to about 2,200 independent grocers nationwide, including Lunds, Byerly's and Kowalski's Markets in the Twin Cities.
