 Exhibit 10.11 
 SPARTAN STORES, INC . 
 2010 CASH INCENTIVE PLAN 

SECTION 1 

ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSES OF PLAN 
 1.1 Establishment of Plan. Spartan Stores, Inc., a Michigan corporation, hereby establishes its 2010 Cash Incentive Plan for its Company and Subsidiary officers, employee directors and other key
Associates. The Plan permits the award of incentive compensation in the form of performance-based incentive awards payable in cash. 
 1.2 Purposes of Plan. The purposes of the Plan are to motivate Participants to achieve the Company’s financial and business objectives; to allow Participants to share appropriately in the
financial success of the Company; to provide a highly competitive incentive compensation opportunity; to create a linkage between Participant contribution and the Company’s business and financial objectives; and to assist in the attraction,
retention and motivation of Associates. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in structuring incentive compensation to best promote the foregoing objectives. 

1.3 Plan Document. This instrument, as amended from time to time, constitutes the governing document of the Plan. 

1.4 Effective Date. The Plan is effective as of March 28, 2010. The Plan shall remain in effect until terminated by the
Board. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate as of the date of the first meeting of shareholders held in 2020. 
 1.5 Incentive Compensation Plan. The Plan is an incentive compensation program for Participants. Because the Plan does not provide welfare benefits and does not provide for the deferral of
compensation until termination of employment, it is established with the intent and understanding that it is not an employee benefit plan within the meaning of the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

 SECTION 5 

ESTABLISHMENT OF GOALS AND POTENTIAL INCENTIVE BONUSES 
 5.1 Performance Criteria. The Plan shall be administered so that the incentive compensation provided to Participants under the Plan for each Performance Period is based on whether the Goals that
are applicable to the Participant for a Performance Period are achieved for that Performance Period. 
 5.2 Determination of
Possible Incentive Bonuses. Within a reasonable time prior to or after the commencement of a Performance Period, the Committee shall make the determinations set forth in this Section 5.2. 

(a) Performance Period. The Committee shall determine the duration of each Performance Period. Each Performance
Period may be expressed as a number of Fiscal Years or by any unit of time. Any Performance Period may overlap with one or more other Performance Periods. 
 (b) Participants. The Committee shall determine the Associates who shall be Participants for that Performance Period. 

(c) Goals. The Committee shall determine the one or more Goals applicable to each Participant for that Performance
Period, including any threshold, target or maximum Goals. The Committee may, but is not required to, set Goals for the person or persons serving in a particular position or positions with the Company, rather than individual Participants. Goals may
vary among Participants in any manner that the Committee determines. In addition, there is no requirement that any Participant’s Goals be similar from Performance Period to Performance Period. 

(d) Target Bonus. A Target Bonus, expressed as a percentage of the Participant’s Annual Base Salary or a
specified dollar amount. 
 (e) Incentive Bonus; Allocation of Incentive Bonus. For each Participant
selected for a Performance Period, the Committee shall determine the one or more Incentive Bonus levels applicable to a Goal for the Performance Period. The Incentive Bonus levels, expressed as a percentage of the Target Bonus, that shall be paid to
the Participant at specified levels of achievement of the Goals established by the Committee pursuant to this Section 5.

 (f) Determination of Relationships Between Goals. For each Goal
established for a Participant, the Committee shall determine whether the Participant’s eligibility to receive an Incentive Bonus with respect to such Goal is dependent on the achievement of any other Goal applicable to that Participant.

 (g) Conditions on Incentive Awards. The Committee may also establish any specific conditions under
which an Incentive Award may be reduced or forfeited. 
 The Incentive Bonus levels specified under subsection (c) above may be expressed
either as (i) a matrix of percentages of the Target Bonus that will be paid at specified levels of the Goal or (ii) a mathematical formula that determines the percentage of the Target Bonus that will be paid at varying levels of the Goal.
If the Incentive Bonus levels are expressed a matrix of percentages and the actual performance achieved exceeds the threshold level and falls between specified levels, then the Compensation Committee may determine by interpolation the percentage of
the Target Bonus that will be paid. 
 5.3 Determination of Actual Incentive Bonuses. 

(a) Determination of Achievement of Goals. Within a reasonable time following the end of a Performance Period, the
Committee shall determine whether each Participant’s one or more Goals for that Performance Period have been met. The Committee shall make this determination by reference to such information as the Committee determines. 

(b) Determination of Incentive Bonuses. Following its determinations under Section 5.3(a), the Committee shall
determine the portion of each Participant’s Incentive Bonus that such Participant is entitled to receive for that Performance Period, subject to the provisions of this Section 5. 

5.4 Adjustments. Adjustments to Incentive Bonuses may be made when deemed appropriate by the Committee pursuant to Section 6
and Section 7 below. 
 SECTION 6

Incentive Bonus for each Participant for each Performance Period shall be determined pursuant to Section 5. 
 6.3 Payment of Incentive Bonuses; Form of Payment. The dollar amount of the Incentive Bonus for a Performance Period shall be paid to the Participant as soon as feasible following the completion of
the Incentive Bonus calculations for the Performance Period and vesting by the Participant in the Incentive Award; provided, however, such Incentive Bonus shall be paid no later than the 15th day of the third month following the later of the end of the Performance Period in which the goals for the incentive
bonus have been met and the date the Participant vests in the Incentive Award. Upon completion of such calculations, the Committee shall notify each Participant of the amount of his or her Incentive Bonus. Any Participant may elect to receive a
portion of his or her Incentive Bonus to be paid in cash under this Plan in the form of Common Stock under the Company’s 2001 Stock Bonus Plan (or any successor plan) or any other Incentive Bonus plan that the Company may adopt, provided that
the Participant is a participant under the other plan with the right to elect to receive shares of Common Stock under the plan. In the event of the death of a Participant, any Incentive Bonus payable to the Participant under the Plan will be paid to
the Participant’s Beneficiary. Before any Incentive Bonus shall be paid, the Committee shall certify in writing, whether by appropriate resolution or otherwise, that the relevant Goals were met and that the other material terms of this Plan
have been satisfied. 
 6.4 Partial Year Participation and Employment Changes.  

(a) Partial Year Participation. If a person is designated to become a Participant in a Performance Period as of a
date other than the first day of the Performance Period, then such Participant shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the Incentive Bonuses to which he or she would otherwise be entitled had he or she been a Participant for the entire
Performance Period, based on the Participant’s time of active employment as a Participant during the Performance Period. 
 (b) Employment Changes. Goals and Incentive Bonuses for a Participant for a Performance Period will be prorated or adjusted as appropriate, as determined by the Committee from time to time, in the
event of any change in the Participant’s compensation or employment status, or any other change that would affect the determination for the Performance Period, in proportion to the duration of each applicable factor during the Performance
Period. 
 (c) Retirement, Death, Total Disability, or Change in Control. If a Participant’s
employment terminates by reason of Retirement, death, Total Disability, or Change in Control (as defined in the Spartan Stores, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan), or upon a Change in Control that does not result in the termination of a
Participant’s employment, before the end of any Performance Period or before vesting in the applicable Incentive Award, the Participant’s Incentive Bonus for the Performance Period, if any, shall vest and be paid to the Participant or the
Participant’s Beneficiary if and to the extent 

  
 7 

 
provided by the Committee in the grant of the Incentive award. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Committee shall only grant awards payable upon Retirement, death, Total Disability, or
Change in Control in a timely manner so as to be exempt from Section 409A as provided in Section 9.8. Specifically, the award shall be paid no later than the 15th day of the third month following the date on which the Participant’s rights under this subsection vest due to the
Participant’s Retirement, death, Total Disability, or a Change in Control or, if already vested, the
15th day of the third month following the date of the
Participant’s Retirement, death, Total Disability, or a Change in Control. 
 (d) Other Termination of
Employment or Change in Employment Status. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (d) or pursuant to subsection (e), or as provided in a change in control agreement applicable to a Participant, upon termination of a
Participant’s employment for any reason other than Retirement, death, or Total Disability during a Performance Period or before vesting in the applicable Incentive Award, or if a Participant is no longer employed in an eligible position or
capacity as of the end of a Performance Period, the Participant shall not be entitled to the payment of any Incentive Bonus for the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion to
determine that payment of a pro-rated amount may be made when termination of a Participant’s employment results from job elimination, reduction in work force or other similar company initiative, or is encouraged or induced by incentives offered
by the Company or other circumstances determined appropriate by the Committee. 
 (e) Committee
Discretion. Pursuant to the powers conferred in Section 6 and Section 7, the Committee may amend or modify any rule and make any other rule, exception or determination applicable to participation and employment changes relating to any
Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Committee delegates to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to determine that a Participant’s award will be reduced or withheld if the Chief Executive Officer determines
that the reduction or withholding is warranted by the Participant’s performance. 
 SECTION 7 

COMMITTEE DISCRETION 
 The Committee shall exercise all of its power and duties as the Committee deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. All decisions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all
Participants and their respective heirs, representatives and Beneficiaries. If the Committee determines in its sole and absolute discretion that any factor applicable in the ultimate determination of an Incentive Bonus under the Plan for a
Performance Period is not appropriate with respect to one or more Participants due to unusual events, circumstances, or other factors that the Committee determines to be appropriate, the applicable factor or the

  
 8 

 
amount of the resulting Incentive Bonus may be adjusted or modified in any manner deemed appropriate by the Committee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to reflect significant,
unanticipated changes, Goals may be adjusted during a Performance Period by recommendation of the Committee and upon approval of the Board of Directors. Adjustments to Goals are expected to be, but need not be, made on an extraordinary basis only.

 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for each Performance Period for which Incentive Bonuses are awarded, the
Committee may, but need not, award Incentive Bonuses to persons who were not designated as Participants for that Performance Period in an aggregate amount equal to not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate amount of Incentive
Bonuses awarded to Participants for such Performance Period. The amount and other terms and conditions of such Incentive Bonuses to non-Participants, as well as the identities of the persons who are designated to receive such Incentive Bonuses, are
within the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee. 
 SECTION 8 

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT 
 The Board may terminate the Plan at any time, or may from time to time amend the Plan as it deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company. 

SECTION 9 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 9.1 Benefits Not Guaranteed; No Rights to Award. Neither the establishment and maintenance of the Plan nor participation in the Plan shall provide any guarantee or other assurance that Incentive
Bonuses or other compensation will be payable under the Plan. The success of the Company and its Business Units and affiliates, as determined hereunder and adjusted as provided herein and application of the administrative rules and determinations by
the Committee, shall determine the extent to which Participants are entitled to receive Incentive Bonuses under this Plan. No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any award or benefit under the Plan and there is no
obligation of uniformity of treatment of Participants under the Plan. The terms and conditions of any award or benefit of the same type and the determination of the Committee to grant a waiver or modification of any award or benefit and the terms
and conditions thereof need not be the same with respect to each Participant. 
 9.2 No Right to Participate. Nothing in
this Plan shall be deemed or interpreted to provide a Participant or any non-participating Associate with any contractual right to participate in or receive benefits under the Plan. No designation of a person as a Participant for all or any part of
a Performance Period shall create a right to any Incentive Bonus, compensation or other benefits of the Plan for any other Performance Period. 

  
 9 

 9.3 No Employment Right. Participation in this Plan shall not be construed as
constituting a commitment, guarantee, agreement, or understanding of any kind that the Company or any Subsidiary will continue to employ any individual and this Plan shall not be construed or applied as any type of employment contract or obligation.
Nothing herein shall abridge or diminish the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary to determine the terms and conditions of employment of any Participant or other person or to terminate the employment of any Participant or other person with or
without cause at any time. 
 9.4 No Assignment or Transfer. Neither a Participant nor any Beneficiary or other
representative of a Participant shall have any right to assign, transfer, attach, or pledge any bonus amount or credit, potential payment, or right to future payments of any bonus amount or credit, or any other benefit provided under this Plan.
Payment of any amount due or to become due under this Plan shall not be subject to the claims of creditors of the Participant or to execution by attachment or garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceeding or process, unless otherwise
specifically ordered by any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 9.5 Withholding and Payroll Taxes. The Company shall
deduct from any payment made under this Plan all amounts required by federal, state and local tax laws to be withheld and shall subject any payments made under the Plan to all applicable payroll taxes and assessments. 

9.6 Incompetent Payee. If the Committee determines that a person entitled to a payment hereunder is incompetent, it may cause
benefits to be paid to another person for the use or benefit of the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary at the time or times otherwise payable hereunder, in total discharge of the Plan’s obligations to the Participant or
Beneficiary. 
 9.7 Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations
relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan and applicable federal law. 

9.8 Construction. The singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. Capitalized terms, except those at the
beginning of a sentence or part of a heading, have the meaning defined in the Plan. The Plan is intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code by providing for short-term deferrals as described in Treasury Regulations § 1.409A-1(b)(4)
and shall be interpreted and administered to achieve that purpose. 
 9.9 Severability. In the event any provision of the
Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

 9.10 No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any
Subsidiary from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, including the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in
specific cases.

bind the Committee to grant a waiver in any future instance or to any other Participant. If requested to do so, the Participant shall agree not to sell or distribute stock obtained under the Plan, except upon such conditions as the Company may
reasonably specify to insure compliance with federal and state securities laws. In addition, the Participant, if requested by the Committee, must represent to the Company that the stock is being acquired for investment and not with a view to the
distribution thereof. The Company may require appropriate legends to be placed on the certificates for shares issued under the Plan to meet such requirements and shall remove such legends upon request and upon the satisfaction of the Company’s
counsel that the legends are no longer necessary or advisable. 
 SECTION 8 

DETERMINATION OF NUMBER 
 OF SHARES TO BE AWARDED 
 Upon receipt of a timely and completed election
from a Participant, the Committee shall calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to that Participant. The Committee shall make this calculation as follows: 

(a) The Committee shall multiply the Participant’s Elective Share by up to 30% (as determined by the Committee) to
obtain the Participant’s Bonus Amount, and shall then add the Bonus Amount to the Elective Share. 
 (b) The
Committee shall then divide the sum of the Participant’s Elective Share and Bonus Amount by the per-share Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date following the due date of the Participant’s election notice. The number of whole
shares resulting from this division shall be issued to the Participant (subject to the other provisions of the Plan). 
 No fractional shares
will be issued under the Plan. Any fractional shares resulting from the above calculation shall be eliminated, and any portion of the Participant’s Elective Share or Bonus Amount that consequently cannot be paid in whole shares of Common Stock
shall be distributed to the Participant in cash, either separately or as part of the Participant’s remaining cash bonus (if any). 
 SECTION 9 
 DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES 

The Company shall deliver certificates for shares of stock issued under the Plan within a reasonable period of time after the Committee
completes the calculations described in Section 8 above. Each recipient of shares under this Plan shall sign all documents necessary and appropriate to facilitate such delivery from the Company. 

SECTION 10 

TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION 
 If a Participant dies or his or her employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason prior to the date on which the Participant has returned his election form to the Company
pursuant to Section 7, the Participant shall immediately cease to be eligible to participate in the Plan, and shall thereafter have no right to elect to receive in Common Stock any portion of any cash bonus he or she may have earned prior to
the date of death or termination of employment. 

  
 4 

 If a Participant dies or his or her employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is
terminated for any reason between the date on which the Participant has returned his election form to the Company pursuant to Section 7 and the date stock certificates are delivered for the shares issued under the Plan, then the Company may, in
its sole discretion, deliver the stock certificates or make a cash payment equal to the Elective Share and the Bonus Amount to the Participant, his or her estate or his or her designated beneficiary, as the case may be. 

If a Participant (or prospective Participant) incurs a Disability at any time during his or her employment with the Company, the
Committee may, in its discretion, determine whether or not the Participant can continue to participate in the Plan with respect to any bonus earned prior to or during the period of the Participant’s Disability. 

SECTION 11 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 11.1 Withholding. The Company or a Subsidiary shall be entitled to: (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of a Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to a Participant
from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state, local and foreign withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to
shares of Common Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan; or (b) require a Participant promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action with the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan. Unless the
Committee determines otherwise, withholding may be satisfied by withholding Common Stock to be received by a Participant or by delivery to the Company of previously owned Common Stock. 

 

	 	11.2	Compliance With Laws; Listing and Registration of Shares. All issuances of Common Stock or other securities under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules and regulations, and to the requirement that if at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares covered hereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or
federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares hereunder, shares to be issued pursuant to the Plan shall not be issued (nor
shall certificates therefor be delivered) unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 

11.3 No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from
adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, including the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 11.4 No Right to Employment. Participation in the Plan shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be
retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company or any Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in
any written agreement with a Participant. 
 11.5 Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and
any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the state of Michigan and applicable federal law. 

  
 5 

 11.6 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or
invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 

SECTION 12 

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT 
 The Board may terminate the Plan at any time or may from time to time amend the Plan as it considers proper and in the best interests of the Company; provided that no such amendment may be made
during (a) the period when the Company has notified a prospective Participant that he or she can elect to participate in the Plan with respect to that year’s bonus; or (b) during the period when the Participant has returned an
election form to the Company but not yet received the shares to be awarded thereunder; if such an amendment would in either case operate to the detriment of the Participant with respect to that election. 

SECTION 13 

EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF THE PLAN 
 The Plan shall take effect May 9, 2001, subject to approval by the shareholders at the Company’s 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof or at a Special Meeting of
Shareholders. The Plan shall continue into effect until terminated by the Board or until all shares authorized for issuance under the Plan have been issued, whichever occurs first.
