Southeastern Grocers
Even supermarkets are experiencing some challenges in sales. Southeastern Grocers, which operates markets such as Harveys, Bi-Lo, and Winn-Dixie, announced their plans of closing 22 stores by March 25 of this year. The decision to close some of its stores happened less than a year after Southeastern Grocers recovered from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Initially, the bankruptcy caused the closure of 94 of its stores. Bi-Lo, out of the three brands, will suffer the most as 13 of its stores would be shuttered.
