Around 400 grocery stores around the U.S. Southeast will undergo a change of command, or even branding, after a major acquisition by the ALDI supermarket company.
Southeastern Grocers Inc. - the parent company of Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie grocery stores - announced on Wednesday that their holdings would be divided between ALDI and Fresco Retail Group, LLC as part of a merger agreement. The company called the move a “comprehensive strategic divestiture” of its businesses.
Wednesday’s announcement said that ALDI will continue to serve Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets through the banners’ existing stores once the sales process is complete. Some locations will convert to the ALDI format, and others will continue to operate as Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores.
Fresco Retail Group, LLC, said they plan to continue current operations for all stores and pharmacies in the Fresco y Más banner.
