Report: Delhaize Group Looks To Sell Sweetbay Chain

TAMPA – Delhaize Group, the parent company of Sweetbay, is looking to sell the supermarket chain, according to a published report.

But Sweetbay stores will operate as usual until and beyond when new ownership is found, a spokeswoman at Sweetbay's Tampa headquarters said.

“It is business as usual, and we expect that to continue under the Delhaize Group ownership or someone else,” spokeswoman Nicole LeBeau said.

“Sweetbay closed 33 nonprofitable stores in January, but there are 72 strong stores in business today,” she said.
