Southeastern Grocers
Supermarkets are also experiencing sales challenges. Southeastern Grocers, which is in charge of markets like Winn-Dixie, Bi-Lo, and Harveys, made the announcement that they would shut down 22 stores by March 25, 2019. This decision came less than one year after it recovered from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. During that time, the company had to close 94 stores. Among the three brands it owns, Bi-Lo is the one that is set to suffer the most since 13 locations are going to cease operation.
Lord & Taylor
After being in operation for over 100 years, Lord & Taylor decided to shut down the flagship store last year. It is the one located on Fifth Avenue. Sadly, more stores are going to close shop this year. Lord & Taylor is planning to shut down 10 more locations in 2020, but they have yet to announce which ones.
