SEG Rolls Out Limited-Edition Fall-Themed Own Brand Products

Southeastern Grocers Inc., parent company and home of Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie grocery stores, is helping customers fall in love with the flavors of the season with new limited-edition fall-themed Own Brand products developed with a focus on taste, quality and affordability. SEG’s Own Brand products have earned more than 150 awards in 2023, a testament to the grocer’s commitment to excellence in offering quality products at an affordable price.

Dewayne Rabon, chief merchandising officer for Southeastern Grocers, said, “We are excited to celebrate the fall season with the introduction of our new limited-edition seasonal Own Brands products. We’ve put a lot of thought and effort into the creation of these items to ensure they capture the essence of autumn, while maintaining an unwavering commitment to exceptional quality at an affordable price. The numerous accolades our products have earned so far this year affirm our dedication to product excellence. We are deeply grateful for the recognition and remain steadfast in our guarantee to deliver outstanding Own Brand offerings to our valued customers.”

Specially curated to embrace the cozy and warm sentiments of autumn, SEG’s limited-edition Own Brand products incorporate fall favorites into premium ice cream flavors and fresh bakery items. Customers can fall in love with the nostalgia of a pumpkin spice latte, reimagined in a frozen masterpiece with Prestige Pumpkin Spice Latte ice cream – rich pumpkin ice cream, espresso flakes and a swirl of vanilla cream create a blend of flavors that captures the comfort of fall in every bite. For those who are not fans of pumpkin, SEG offers a different play that is sure to blitz the taste buds. The grocer’s Prestige Sack ‘Em Sundae ice cream is the ultimate flavor rush, featuring a victory formation of vanilla ice cream, caramel swirls, brownie bits and rich fudge flakes – it’s a crowd-pleasing treat with cause for celebration.

With a commitment to quality and value, SEG’s award-winning line of Own Brand products offers nearly 8,000 items to help customers save an average of 20 percent compared to national brands, providing affordability without sacrificing quality. The grocer’s Own Brand products and market exclusive lines have won more than 150 awards across a variety of categories to date in 2023, including top honors from Store Brands, Progressive Grocer, World Dairy Expo, along with USA Wine, Beer and Spirits Ratings.
