or go to ask.com and ask who owns Bi-lo because according to all of these sources, Lonestar still owned them as of 5 months ago and Lonestar is the one trying to sell them. Research these things next time before making false statements. Thank you.

That's not what they said. Just look at the media reports. They were owned by Ahold.

Scratch that, they will be coming to Clemson. They are scheduled to be part of a new shopping center to be built at the intersection of Old Greenville Highway and Berkeley Drive. Barnes and Noble could also be part of the development.

I was excited about them coming to Charlotte. I went one day to hopefully get some organic salad and was surprised that they did not carry any.

They WERE owned by Ahold. Ahold sold them to Lonestar about 5 years ago. I think you have it backwards. Ahold to Buy U.S. Chain - New York Times This article is from 94 when Ahold bought them.

Crap. I do. You're right. I feel stupid now.

Well, I am glad you realized it

Thanks, all. I guess the answer to my original question is, Greenville, or Greenville.

...or you can go to the Bi-Lo website and view the actual press release that was released on April 10, 2007 and Lonestar has only owned Bi-Lo/Bruno's for about 3 years. They are the largest employer in town!

I would live in Eart Fare if I could, the one on Pelham Rd. I love that place.
We bought some 5 year old cheese that had been aged in a cave somewhere and it was so good. I think we spent $30 on cheese alone.

I can't find any decent grocery stores on the westside of Spartanburg.
I'm sticking with the Food Lion and Ingles for now b/c they have a decent selection of organics and soy.

Next to Earth Fare, Ingles have the biggest selection of rice and soy based ice creams.
