Southeastern Grocers

Fresco y Más Hispanic is expanding its banner beyond South Florida.

In a move that was not unexpected, the parent company of such grocery banners as Winn-Dixie and Bi-Lo said it is preparing to file for bankruptcy protection.

Brookshire Grocery Co. has expanded its footprint in Louisiana.

Southeastern Grocers is keeping up a swift pace as it opens eight new stores in the Sunshine State.

The nation's supermarket retailers are positioning themselves to capture a significant majority of online grocery sales over the next decade or so.   That's according to Joe McKeska, president of Elkhorn Real Estate Partners. He made his remarks during a panel discussion at Marquette University’s annual commercial real estate conference.  

Southeastern Grocers has made a temporary appointment permanent.   The supermarket operator, parent company of Winn-Dixie, Bi-Lo, Fresco y Más, and Harveys, has appointed Anthony Hucker president and CEO, effective immediately. Hucker has served as interim president and CEO since July 1, 2017.  

A much-anticipated ruling on website accessibility has been issued out of the Southern District of Florida. The ruling in Juan Carlos Gil v. Winn-Dixie Stores (case no. 16-23020-civ-Scola; S.D. FL 2017) requires the attention of businesses across the country that host websites.    

Southeastern Grocers' chief executive is leaving after 16-months on the job to pursue "another opportunity."  

A new retailer aimed at Hispanic customers is expanding its footprint in South Florida.    Fresco y Más on March 8 opened five stores in Miami, and Hialeah, Florida, bringing its total store count to 11 locations. The banner is the latest concept from Southeastern Grocers, parent company of Bi-Lo, Harveys and Winn-Dixie.  

Grocery retailer Winn-Dixie opened the second ever location of its next-generation store concept, in the Hyde Park section of Tampa, Florida.
