I am sure this is just the beginning. The vultures are no doubt circling. I am sure Publix will want in at the right price.

Bi-Lo closing 94 stores, 19 in South Carolina

Why would Publix want to buy Bilo?

I can think of a few locations in the metro that they may want.

My money is on Lowe's Foods taking a few locations—specifically the soon-to-be-shuttered Shellmore location in Mt P.

I'm surprised the Skylark Dr. store survived. The store hasn't been remodeled since the Piggly Wiggly acquisition. It still has PWCC decor inside.

That makes me sad. There used to be a Bi-Lo just a few miles down the road from me, and I used to buy three-liter bottles of soft drinks there.

My second job ever was at a Bi-Lo. Was a much better outfit then than it is now.

At this point nobody wants to buy BiLo, but as you probably know, grocery chains generally don't own the real estate.Ingles is the one exception I can think of.Publix might want the vacant building though,after they sandblast all the BiLo funk off it so nobody even remembers that it was ever a BiLo.

Lowe's Foods has issues of its own. It is opening stores, but it has not learned its lessons from failed stores in the Charlotte, North Carolina, metropolitan area.
