Winn-Dixie Company Description
Winn-Dixie Stores has found -- as Jefferson Davis did long ago -- that winning Dixie ain't easy. The Deep South supermarket chain operates about 515 stores throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The company runs combination food and drug stores under the Winn-Dixie, Winn-Dixie Marketplace, and SaveRite (warehouse stores) banners. About 400 of Winn-Dixie's supermarkets have pharmacies, some 75 house liquor stores, and about a half a dozen sell gas. To fend off rivals (including Wal-Mart and Publix Super Markets) and stem red ink, Winn-Dixie has retrenched by exiting noncore markets and selling assets, including more than 500 supermarkets during a bankruptcy restructuring.
