Little Giant Farmers Market has been acquired by Jackson Mitchell Holdings Inc, reports Supermarket News. The 175 employees of the Atlanta-area grocer have been offered continued employment under the new parent company, but Little Giant owner Mickey Dixson is retiring. Jackson Mitchell, founder and CEO of Jackson Mitchel Holdings, will now lead the company.
Mitchell said he plans to upgrade the Little Giant stores and create a more engaging customer experience while maintaining the banner’s focus on freshness and value. Efforts will include expanding the assortment — with fresh seafood, bulk foods and more grab-and-go items — and the addition of a deli and a bakery at all stores, plus broader deli and bakery offerings at the Newnan and Sargent locations.
