BI-LO Shuttering Nearly Two Dozen Under-Performing Winn-Dixie Stores
October 9, 2014 | 1 min to read
The Winn-Dixie Marketplace in south Columbus, which has sold groceries to area residents for two decades, is closing its doors by Nov. 19, the company confirmed Monday.
Winn-Dixie spokeswoman Della Barber said the chain’s parent company, BI-LO Holdings, has decided to shutter 23 stores in all after a review of its supermarkets in eight states. She said that represents less than 3 percent of the company’s 827 locations operating under the BI-LO, Winn-Dixie and Harveys brands.
Winn-Dixie will have five remaining stores in the local market. The others are on Veterans Parkway, Milgen Road, Macon Road and Hunt Avenue in Columbus, with one on U.S. Highway 80 in the Ladonia area of Phenix City. Barber said all of those will remain open.
