Belle Foods
Belle Foods, LLC was a family-owned chain of American supermarkets headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama,〔"(Contact )." Belle Foods. Retrieved on October 5, 2012. "800 Lakeshore Pkwy Birmingham Alabama 35211"〕 which was operated by father-son team Bill White and Jeff White. The company officially began operation July 1, 2012, filed for bankruptcy in July 2013 and ceased operations in October 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.al.com/business/index.ssf/2013/07/belle_foods_to_sell_remaining.html )〕 Before Bill White and Jeff White started running Belle Foods in mid-2012, the 57-store grocery chain employed approximately 3,000 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://blog.al.com/businessnews/2012/02/father_son_team_buy_southern_f.html )〕
Leading up to the bankruptcy, Belle Foods said in April 2013 that it would hire approx. 300 part-time employees. In order for this to happen, many full-time employees with over 20 years of experience had to be reduced to part-time or take a layoff. Bill White at the time said, "I could see that if I didn't move forward with these reductions, even more teammates could be negatively affected." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.al.com/business/index.ssf/2013/04/birmingham-based_belle_foods_t.html )〕
Belle Foods filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on July 1, 2013, exactly one year after its founding.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bizjournals.com/birmingham/news/2013/07/01/belle-foods-files-bankruptcy.html Belle Foods files bankruptcy )〕 In September 2013, Associated Wholesale Grocers was the only bidder (in a stalking horse bid) for Belle Foods stores being auctioned and offered just $16.1 million.〔(AWG is a Lone Bidder for Belle Foods; The Associated Grocers could have several new stores )〕
In an ironic twist, not only was Belle Foods named "Retailer of the Year" in late 2012,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bizjournals.com/birmingham/morning_call/2012/11/birmingham-based-belle-foods-named.html )〕 its CEO, Bill White, was elected to the National Grocers Association's Board of Directors in February 2013, about four months before Belle Foods declared bankruptcy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theshelbyreport.com/2013/02/28/nga-elects-belle-foods-bill-white-to-board/#.UdX0n_k3tqg )〕
