The Bi-Lo bulls
The white-faced Hereford bull became the symbol of Bi-Lo in 1963. Fiberglass bulls grazed on the roofs of many Bi-Lo stores until the 1980s.
In the 1980s, the bull was featured in the center of the Bi-Lo logo. That lasted until 1988, when the bull was replaced with a dash. The fiberglass bulls began coming down from store roofs in 1981; the last bull was removed in 1992.
Before their removals, the bulls often were the victims of theft and pranks.
“No sooner had (Frank Outlaw) placed a (Bi-Lo bull) on a store on the Poinsett Highway than Furman students tried to lift it. Stealing the Bi-Lo bulls became great fun for college students. Once a Clemson student was shot trying to ascend with one from a store in Pendleton,” Jimmy Cornelison wrote in a December 1984 edition of The Greenville News.
