JACKSONVILLE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Southeastern Grocers, parent company of BI-LO, Harveys and

and their families for the sacrifices they make for our nation and the
world. We fully recognize the selfless contributions of those who have,
and continue to serve. This Fourth of July, we are once again donating
every cent of every dollar of profit generated as just one way we can
show our support.”

“Southeastern Grocers operates in states with some of the highest
active-duty military populations in the United States. We are committed
to the communities we serve and we believe we all have a responsibility
to contribute to the lives of those who have sacrificed for the nation,”
continued McLeod.
