NOTE 2—BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company paid $17 to acquire 22 Food Lion stores located in northern West Virginia, western Maryland, south central Pennsylvania and northwestern Virginia. The acquisition included certain store assets, including inventories, property, plant, and equipment, and capital and operating leases. The acquired stores were converted to the Company's Shop ‘N Save format that is currently used by some of the Company's Wholesale customers in that region and will at least initially be operated by the Company's Retail segment. The Company is in discussions with certain of its wholesale customers and the Federal Trade Commission on potential structures that would allow these wholesale customers to have an interest in these stores at some future date.
