US: Belle Foods announces Southern Family Markets acquisition

Update: Belle Foods is pleased to announce the successful completion of their acquisition of 57 Southern Family Markets stores located in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Florida. Belle Foods will take over store operations as of July 1, 2012. Their plan going forward is to bring back the family-owned theme that once made these stores so special when the Bruno’s family owned many of them. Their focus will be on the core grocery business, and to provide a feeling that family and community really do come first.

Belle Foods President and CEO Bill White says he “sees great growth potential for the company and its employees," a sentiment that is echoed by a team of industry veterans White hand-picked from previous collaborations in different parts of the country, creating a senior management team that is well versed in vision as well as execution. Belle Foods will continue to use C&S Wholesale Grocers as their main distributor. Max Henderson Jr., President of Southern Family Markets said, “We are very excited about the completion of this transaction, the long-term view that Bill White and his son Jeff are taking going forward, and their strong commitment toward community involvement. Their vision, combined with our associates’ knowledge, experience and dedication should prove to be a great and winning combination.”

“Belle Foods is eager to begin serving the community and building great relationships with all of our current and future shoppers,” said Mr. White. “We are not just looking for where sales will come from next week. We are looking at how we can build a company that will last in these communities for the next 60 years.”
