Winn-Dixie, a 100-year-old grocery chain, is exiting the Alabama market as part of a reorganization by Southeastern Grocers, which is focusing on Florida. The company will transfer most of its stores outside Florida to other operators, including three Alabama stores transitioning to Food City, and plans to close or sell remaining locations by early next year, leaving about 20 stores in Alabama.
Concern is growing in smaller, rural areas of South Florida, such as Okeechobee and Belle Glade, following Aldi's acquisition of 400 Winn-Dixie grocery stores. These areas often have limited grocery store options, and the takeover could result in fewer choices for residents. Additionally, the transition to Aldi could potentially lead to job losses, as Aldi typically employs fewer people per store compared to Winn-Dixie. While some residents welcome the arrival of Aldi for its low prices and fresh produce, others express concern about losing a familiar and trusted grocery store. Aldi has stated that it will evaluate which locations will convert to the Aldi format, while also committing to operating Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores with the same level of care and focus on quality and service.
