The BI-LO at 505 N. Main St. in downtown Greenville is closing its doors on Nov. 30 after more than 20 years in business. The BI-LO store was the smallest in the grocery store chain.
“From time to time, the successful execution of our strategy will require us to make the difficult decision to close certain stores,” BI-LO spokesperson Rondel Cuyler, director of public relations, community involvement and charitable giving, told the Journal. “We encourage customers to visit our other Greenville area stores that will remain open to serve them.”
The North Hills-North Main Plaza also houses No. 1 Chinese Restaurant, North Hills Medical Center and other businesses.
A North Main resident who didn’t want to be identified said that “while the closing of BI-LO will be an inconvenience, it wasn’t a very safe place to be late at night.”
Alberto Alverez, who owns the shopping center, said that he is looking for another tenant to rent the space and has no plans right now to redevelop the site into anything different.
