GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate a familiar Southeastern grocery name with a BI-LO polo suited to everyday wear and brand collecting. The company began in Greenville in 1961 as Wrenn & Outlaw and adopted BI-LO in 1963, later expanding across the region through acquisitions and changing ownership. Its Hereford bull symbol became closely associated with the stores. This piece honors the shoppers, communities, and local memories connected with BI-LO during its six decades as a regional supermarket banner.
BI-LO began in 1961 when former Winn-Dixie executive Frank Outlaw bought four grocery stores in Greenville, South Carolina, from Wrenn and Syracuse and formed the Wrenn & Outlaw chain. The company adopted the BI-LO name in 1963 after a staff naming contest; its Hereford bull symbol became a familiar feature outside stores. Ahold, a Dutch retail food company, purchased BI-LO in 1977. The chain expanded through acquisitions, including 21 Kroger stores in North and South Carolina in 1988 and Red Food Stores in 1994, whose 55 locations joined BI-LO the following year. Ahold sold BI-LO and Bruno’s to Lone Star Funds in 2005. After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2009, BI-LO emerged in 2010 and merged with Winn-Dixie in 2011. Southeastern Grocers became the parent company for BI-LO, Harveys, and Winn-Dixie in 2013. Following a further bankruptcy restructuring in 2018, Southeastern Grocers announced in 2020 that it would phase out the BI-LO banner. Stores were sold to other operators or closed, and the remaining locations closed by April 18, 2021, ending the banner’s 60-year run.
