Sales are also down in grocery stores. Winn-Dixie, Bi-Lo, and Harveys are all owned by Southeastern Grocers, which has announced the closure of 22 of its stores by March 25, 2019. In less than a year, the company was able to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. 94 stores were forced to close during that time period. Bi-Lo will be the most affected of the three brands it controls, with 13 locations expected to close.

Shopko previously stated that it intended to close 70% of its stores by May 2019. They eventually reversed their decision and announced that all stores would be permanently closed. Shopko filed for bankruptcy in January 2019, hoping to find a buyer who could assist it in resolving this crisis. It was unable to find a buyer and made unsuccessful attempts to sell all of its assets. By June 2019, it had closed all of its locations.
