COOKEVILLE -- Several pick-up trucks and trailers were lined up outside the former Bi Lo on West Jackson Street yesterday morning as some 270 items from inside the store were sold at auction.

The auction, handled by Grafe Auction Company, was expected to draw more than 100 bidders, in person and over the phone, for a variety of equipment left behind -- fixtures, shelving and deli equipment, even water fountains were marked for sale.

The grocery has been closed for more than a year in the busy Jackson Plaza strip, and speculation has officially ended about what will happen next with the property.

Sources told the Herald-Citizen that Food Lion, which already operates a store off East Spring Street in Cookeville, recently signed a contract for the building.

And representatives from Food Lion were able to officially confirm that information when contacted yesterday.

"We will confirm that we are planning to open a store at this location," spokeswoman Karen Peterson said by e-mail. "We have signed a lease. We don't have any other information to share at this time regarding the timetable."

Peterson said Food Lion will continue to operate its store on East Spring Street.

Although no target date has set for a possible opening, a source said renovations could begin as early as the end of August.

No monetary figures have been released.

Food Lion has been speculated for months as the possible tenant replacement for Bi Lo, but the company has withheld official comment until the lease was signed.

Food Lion currently operates six grocery stores in the state.
