Two independent Piggly Wiggly store owners, with the support of C&S Wholesale Grocers, have entered into an agreement with Southeastern Grocers to acquire one Bi-Lo store in South Carolina and one in Georgia. The agreement is part of a series of transactions for SEG as part of its strategic decision to divest of the Bi-Lo banner.
"Our independent owners are excited to grow their existing store footprint and expand the Piggly Wiggly brand in the Southeast," said John Owens, vice president and Southeast general manager for C&S Wholesale Grocers, in a statement. "We look forward to serving our new customers with the high quality products and exceptional service that Piggly Wiggly stores are known for."
With the additional stores converting to the Piggly Wiggly banner, C&S Wholesale Grocers will service a total of 55 Piggly Wiggly locations in South Carolina and Southeast Georgia.
