Bottom Dollar Food Closing All 66 of its Stores This Month
SALISBURY, NC – Bottom Dollar Food, which is operated by Delhaize America, is closing all 66 of its store locations in the greater Philadelphia and greater Pittsburgh markets.
The retailer announced that the stores will be closed by January 15, which will mark the retiring of the banner’s operations.
This closure will end the Delhaize Group’s participation in the U.S. discount retail sector, which is part of its overall strategy to focus on its core operations centered on traditional retail outlets.
“We want to thank our associates, customers and communities for their support over the past four years,” said Gene Faller, Vice President of Retail Operations for Bottom Dollar Food.
According to a press release, Bottom Dollar Food is offering every associate severance, and eligible associates will be offered career transition services.
As we previously reported, Aldi reached an agreement last November with the Delhaize Group to purchase the 66 Bottom Dollar Food stores for a total of $15 million.
This transition created an exciting opportunity for Aldi, which is currently working to expand its store base in order to add 650 new stores nationwide.
