I have looked for any BI-LO labeled products to purchase as a keepsake souvenir, but forgot most house brands have been replaced with the generic Southeastern Grocers label. Probably the same at Winn-Dixie as well, except for the Chek Cola. But I did decide to purchase 2 bottles of Aunt Jemima syrup, since that product is apparently being renamed and phased out. That may become a collectible someday, but soon to be a relic of the past.

Ten years ago I was in south Fla and headed straight to a WD to buy Georgia Crackers, Deep South Mayo and similar. A manager just shook his head and said they had been phased out a couple years back

I remember some of the Winn-Dixie labels were Superbrand and possibly Laura Lynn or something similar. But I think Laura Lynn may now be an Ingle's brand. But they did keep Chek Cola and also offered it at BI-LO.

Laura Lynn has always been Ingles private label not Winn Dixie. Laura Lynn is the name of Ingles founder Robert "Bob" Ingle's daughter. Products were named after her.

Thrifty Maid and Prestige were Winn Dixie legacy labels also. Southeastern Grocers kept Prestige, Chek and Fisherman's Wharf all former WD labels and used them at Bi-Lo. Southern Home was Bi-Lo's private label before the merger with Winn Dixie.

Regarding posts above regarding Food Lion picking up the TR store recently it looks like they have posted positions for Gresham Plaza @ 120 Hwy 14 in Simpsonville as well. Neither of those stores were on the acquisition list last summer.

Great news. Must have a good deal on these locations. Maybe they’ll pick them all up.

I checked some of the others like Mauldin and Powdersville on the Food Lion careers site. Nothing posted on those yet. They do have job openings posted recently for Clinton too which wasn't on the original list. Someone was asking previously about that store.

Giving Food Lion 4 stores with a Simpsonville zip code. The Gresham Plaza store has posted a closing date of April 11th and a sign stating “all sales are final” The Walmart Neighborhood Market has done well in absence of any competition. FL has long coveted the upstate market, and it will interesting how they are received going forward

We have had both BiLo and Food Lion here, and Food Lion is way better, as far as pricing and quality. What’s happening to OP is a good thing.
