In March 2018, the parent company, Southeastern Grocers, filed for bankruptcy in order to reorganize its debts. The company emerged from bankruptcy the following month.
In August 2020, due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, Southeastern Grocers implemented a new policy allowing stores with pharmacies to offer delivery service.
