Brookshire Grocery Co. (BGC) has entered into an agreement to acquire two Winn-Dixie locations from Southeastern Grocers (SEG) in Baton Rouge and St. George, Louisiana.
These locations, one at 8601 Siegen Lane in St. George and another at 13002 Coursey Blvd. in Baton Rouge, will become Super 1 Foods stores following a short closing for conversion.
“We are thrilled to have this opportunity to introduce Super 1 Foods to the Baton Rouge and St. George communities,” said Brad Brookshire, chairman and CEO for Brookshire Grocery Co.
“These new stores reflect our commitment to providing fresh, affordable groceries and exceptional service to families across the South Louisiana region. Our mission is to create and deliver exceptional experiences and value for our customers, guided by our core values. We look forward to becoming a trusted neighbor and partner in each community.”
Each location is anticipated to close on Nov. 16 with the goal of reopening later that week as a Super 1 Foods. Following the reopening, the store will undergo a remodel process to bring new features and expanded offering to customers.
As part of this transition, Brookshire Grocery Co. will offer employment opportunities to all qualified employees working at the acquired Winn-Dixie locations. In addition, the company plans to hire additional employees for each store to support the new Super 1 Foods offerings and deliver elevated service for customers.
Super 1 Foods is a full-scale supermarket dedicated to delivering high-quality fresh meats and produce and everyday low prices. The store keeps prices low by purchasing products by the truckload from distributors and passing those savings to customers. As part of its value-driven approach, Super 1 Foods features its Wall of Values and Super Shocker sticker pricing, offering larger discounts on select items. Many of these popular offerings will be introduced as the stores undergo remodels in the coming months.
