After the closing process is completed, it is anticipated that the stores will undergo a brief transition period with the goal of re-opening within a matter of days under the Super 1 Foods banner.
Brookshire Grocery Co. (BGC), Tyler, Texas, announced plans to acquire eight Winn-Dixie stores from Southeastern Grocers (SEG), Jacksonville, Fla. The stores include New Roads, Breaux Bridge, Franklin, New Iberia, Abbeville, Crowley, Rayne and Eunice, La., and will become part of BGC’s Super 1 Foods banner.
“We’re excited about this agreement and the opportunity it provides us to further grow and expand in this region. These stores are a strong fit for our Super 1 Foods banner, and we look forward to welcoming new customers and employees in Acadiana,” says Brad Brookshire, chairman of the board and CEO of BGC. “We’re a family business celebrating our 90th anniversary this year, and we look forward to many more years here.”
