First Food Worlds Reopen Under C&S

Two Food World stores reopened Wednesday, touting a new look and 6,000 lower everyday price. The stores, located in Pelham, Ala., and Rainbow City, Ala., are the first Food World or Bruno’s stores to introduce changes under the ownership of C&S Wholesale Grocers, the Keene, N.H.-based supplier that bought select Food World and Bruno’s stores in a bankruptcy court auction last month.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Two Food World stores reopened Wednesday, touting a new look and 6,000 lower everyday prices.

The stores, located in Pelham, Ala., and Rainbow City, Ala., are the first Food World or Bruno’s stores to introduce changes under the ownership of C&S Wholesale Grocers, the Keene, N.H.-based supplier that bought select Food World and Bruno’s stores in a bankruptcy court auction last month.

Sales fliers for the stores tout lower prices on 6,000 items tagged with a red circle. Shoppers no longer need to use a frequent shopper card to receive discounts, the fliers said.

Both stores were closed earlier this week while workers prepared the changes. C&S is operating the stores under its Southern Family Markets division, based here.
