The news comes after Southeastern Grocers postponed an initial public offering in late January 2021.

Southeastern’s IPO delay at the time represented the second time the chain – which operates more than 400 Winn-Dixie Harveys and other grocery stores in the Southeast, has canceled plans to go public. The company previously nixed an IPO in 2014 and ultimately filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2018.
