Federal Judge Approves Southern Family Market Purchase Of Food World, Bruno’s

May 5, 2009

A federal bankruptcy judge has approved a bid by Southern Family Markets to purchase 31 bankrupt Food World and Bruno’s stores, including three in Pensacola. Southern Family currently operates stores in Atmore and Brewton.

C&S Wholesale Grocers, the owners of Southern Family bid on the 31 stores in South Alabama and Northwest Florida. About 25 other stores will be closed, including the Food World in Monroeville, Ala. and and the Bruno’s in Gulf Breeze.

Food World locations on Davis Highway, Lillian Highway and Pine Forest Road in Pensacola will be among the 31 stores to remain open.

The C&S purchase of the bankrupt Bruno’s and Food World stores would have no impact on the Southern Family stores in Atmore or Brewton.
