Southeastern Grocers
Supermarkets are not safe from challenges either. Southeastern Grocers, the parent company of Bi-Lo, Winn-Dixie, and Harveys, said it was shutting down 22 stores by March 25. This decision happened less than one year after its recovery from a bankruptcy filing. Bi-Lo suffered the most as 13 locations closed.
