Winn-Dixie Stores Inc.’s days as an independent company are coming to an end.
The supermarket chain has scheduled a meeting for Friday morning at its Westside Jacksonville headquarters for shareholders to vote on its proposed acquisition by Bi-Lo LLC.
Winn-Dixie has not said exactly when the merger will be completed. But often in merger situations, the deal is finalized at the close of business on the day of the shareholder vote. So look for an announcement late Friday afternoon.
There still is one major question to be addressed in the merger: where will the headquarters of the combined company be? Jacksonville or Bi-Lo’s home in Greenville, S.C.?
