Take a reminder of regional grocery history along on your travels with this BI-LO luggage tag. The chain began in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1961 as Wrenn & Outlaw, and a staff naming contest introduced the BI-LO name in 1963. Its familiar Hereford bull symbol once marked stores throughout the Southeast. After years of acquisitions, ownership changes, and a Winn-Dixie merger, BI-LO's final locations closed in 2021. A memorable keepsake for former shoppers and collectors of supermarket brands with local roots.
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.
