The BI-LO headquarters were previously located in Mauldin, South Carolina, near Greenville.

BI-LO was founded in 1961 by Frank L. Outlaw. The original name was Wrenn & Outlaw. The company was officially named BI-LO in 1963 after Outlaw conducted an employee store-naming contest to develop the “brand.” His secretary, Edna Plumblee, won the contest by submitting the name “BI-LO.”Store front BL.pngBI-LO was sold to Ahold, a Dutch retail food conglomerate, in 1977. In 1994, Ahold purchased Red Food Stores, Inc. and merged its locations (around 55 of them) in Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee into BI-LO the following year. In 2001, Ahold purchased the Birmingham, Alabama based Bruno’s Supermarkets chain and combined its operations with BI-LO.
