“In addition to our new store that we opened earlier this year, we look forward to introducing eight more new appealing stores with fresh, quality products at the right price to deliver a shopping experience our associates, customers and communities can always count on.”

All these purchased stores will be remodelled to accommodate a greater selection of products.

Opening of the store locations follows the inauguration of new stores in the Brentwood community under the Winn-Dixie banner in Jacksonville, Florida in February.

As part of these openings, the company is expected to recruit various positions for Lucky’s Market and Earth Fare associates for local community members.

In 2018, Southeastern Grocers completed financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11.
