HOUSTON, Oct. 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cardtronics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CATM) today announced the completion of an ATM installation project linked to a significant expansion of its relationship with Bi-Lo Holdings, LLC, which is the parent company of BI-LO, Harveys and Winn-Dixie grocery stores, and the fifth-largest conventional supermarket chain in the United States.

Cardtronics also has expansion rights for future Bi-Lo Holdings stores.
