PROFILE |
 |
How easy was it to steer a Jitney through the fierce grocery jungle? Not very. Jitney-Jungle Stores of America (JJSA) was slammed by larger rivals, such as Wal-Mart, forcing it to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and then sell its assets in 2001. JJSA ran about 140 stores in four southern states, including conventional stores (Jitney-Jungle, Delchamps), food-and-drug-combination stores (Jitney Premier, Delchamps Premier), discount stores (Sack & Save), 10 liquor stores, and nearly 45 gas stations. Investment firm Bruckmann, Rosser, Sherill & Co. owned 84% of JJSA. In early 2001 JJSA sold some 125 stores to grocers Winn-Dixie Stores and Bruno's Supermarkets. Winn-Dixie is operating stores under the Jitney-Jungle banner.
