BI-LO Updates Three Stores Through Re-Design Program

Over the past month, BI-LO has revealed three newly updated stores in Greenwood and Spartanburg, S.C., in order to make grocery shopping even simpler and more enjoyable.

Unveiling the latest in a series of renovations the company is making in its stores in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee, these re-openings are the latest updates as part of BI-LO's five-year plan to be more competitive in the marketplace.  The company has carefully worked on revamping its store designs and layout and has developed new offerings focused on quality and savings to offer its customers continued savings without sacrifice.

The improved look and feel of these stores is just one of the ways BI-LO is working to provide unrivaled value and service to shoppers.  From their arrival at the store, customers notice upgraded aspects such as a warmer, richer color palette and improved décor that envelops the store almost immediately. 

"BI-LO is always striving to ensure positive shopping experiences for our customers whenever they visit our stores," said BI-LO President and CEO Michael Byars.  "Our re-designed locations in Greenwood and Spartanburg, S.C., symbolize what BI-LO is all about:  savings without sacrifice on quality and freshness, while offering the best value on the finest products available."
