Bi-Lo - Independence Square, Charlotte

(Berkley Capital/KIMCO)
This Bi-Lo grocery store in Charlotte's Independence Square Shopping Center encompasses around 56,000 square feet and the store was originally built in 1988. The store was a Kroger for a short period of time the 80s, when Kroger tried to unsuccessfully re-enter the Charlotte market.** The store has great visibility from the heavily traveled Independence Boulevard (Hwy 74) between downtown Charlotte and Matthews.

**Edit: actually, according to Grocerying reader Rick, this store was never a Kroger.
