Published reports last month stated that Ahold Delhaize, the parent company for Giant, Food Lion and Stop & Shop, is suspending its small-format Bfresh brand and will not open Bfresh stores in Philadelphia, as previously announced. The company still plans to make use of the spaces it has leased, though.
In addition, Ahold’s 3,700 SF Everything Fresh grocery store on Walnut Street in Center City has closed.
Last year the company announced that it would open Bfresh stores at Second and South Streets, Bainbridge Street and University City.
