JACKSONVILLE, FL - The Florida market recently got a little tighter thanks to Southeastern Grocers (SEG). The parent company and home of BI-LO, Fresco y Más, Harveys Supermarket, and Winn-Dixie grocery stores, is moving in on this prime retail region as it opens four new Winn-Dixie stores. SEG celebrated the grand opening of all four stores today on Veterans Day.

“We are beyond excited to unveil our four new Winn-Dixie stores to the wonderful communities of Boynton Beach, Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Lakewood Ranch. We are proud to provide our customers a shopping experience that is uniquely crafted for their community,” Anthony Hucker, President and CEO, said. “At Southeastern Grocers, giving back to our communities is in our DNA, and with our grand openings occurring on Veterans Day, we are proud to recognize the men and women who served our country in the most admirable way. We have immense gratitude for those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom, and we look forward to showing all of our new neighbors they can always count on us.”

According to the press release, each Winn-Dixie store is designed to provide customers with a unique shopping experience featuring the freshest produce and highest-quality products.

Customers shopping the four new Winn-Dixie locations will immediately notice enhanced offerings, including farm-fresh produce with more than 100 organic varieties, plant-based proteins made in-store, and a wide selection of convenient grab-and-go meal options. Winn-Dixie also made it easier than ever for shoppers to find healthy options in-store by implementing “LiveWell” message tags for certain products.

These four store openings are the first of eight new Winn-Dixie stores scheduled to open throughout Florida. Winn-Dixie’s continued expansion will include additional locations in Fort Myers, Lake Mary, and Melbourne later this year and Viera in early 2021.

With new stores on the horizon, how will the retail landscape shape up? ANUK will stay on the retail trail.
