JACKSONVILLE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As communities across Louisiana and Mississippi struggle through
historic flooding, Southeastern Grocers would like to extend heartfelt
sympathy to those fighting during this flood, working in recovery and to
those who have lost loved ones.

Southeastern Grocers’ 4,400 Winn-Dixie associates in Louisiana are
working hard to keep as many stores in the region open as possible to
serve customers. Beginning Wednesday, August 17^th, and
lasting through August 23^rd, all Winn-Dixie, BI-LO and
Harveys customers will be able to contribute to the flood relief efforts
in stores throughout the entire footprint in the Southeast. With every
dollar donated by customers, Southeastern Grocers will match this
through the Southeastern Grocers Foundation.

Ian McLeod, President and CEO of Southeastern Grocers, said,
“Winn-Dixie has been a part of the Louisiana community for 60 years.
During that time, the strength and resilience of the community has been
tried time and time again, and we are proud to have the people of
Louisiana as our customers, our associates, and our neighbors, as their
bravery and perseverance has been an inspiration as we begin our
recovery efforts.”

“We are encouraging all our customers across the Southeast to rise up
and support the great states and communities of Louisiana and
Mississippi. We will continue to work tirelessly on the ground and with
the American Red Cross to direct all available resources to help the
people affected by the flooding.”

Anna Trefethen, Vice-President for the Southeast and Caribbean
Division of the American Red Cross, said, “Southeastern Grocers
plays an integral role in helping communities when disaster strikes
across the Southeast. We are extremely grateful for the support of their
stores, employees and customers here in Louisiana and across the
Southeast. Our response to this disaster is only made possible when
partners like Southeastern Grocers step forward and respond.”

Winn-Dixie operates 47 stores in the state of Louisiana. As of Tuesday,
August 16^th, all stores are open for business, with the
exception of three that took significant impact from the flooding. Every
effort is being made to quickly and safely re-open the following stores:
