    I don't know about the rest of the country....but in Louisiana, we didn't experience anything totally drastic.

    There were only a few stores left west of Baton Rouge (about 20). Of those, 6 closed. Of the 7 closures, 4 are now empty stores (Marksville and Bunkie were their respective only other stores in town, stores in Lafayette and New Iberia had other locations still open). The stores in Pineville and Opelousas were bought by Super 1 Foods. Interestingly, Pineville has another, much larger (60,000sf vs 30,000sf) store still open. Opelousas replaced a former Delchamps that Super 1 had only been in for 4 years. The Tioga store became a locally owned operation. I do not believe any of the other stores in Louisiana were sold, although I could be wrong.
