Jacksonville-based grocer Winn-Dixie is staging a bit of a revival, with plans to convert 18 Sweetbay Stores in Florida to the Winn-Dixie brand.
The conversions include two Sweetbays in The Villages, as well as locations in Holiday, New Port Richey, Spring Hill, Crystal River, Inverness, Tampa, Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, Belleview, Ocala, Gainesville, Largo, Clearwater, Arcadia and Wauchula.
"Upon reopening as a Winn-Dixie, we believe customers will be pleasantly surprised to see that we have been working hard to provide the fresh, quality products they want at prices they can afford," said Joey Medina, Winn-Dixie's regional vice president. "Plus, we will offer a suite of in-store savings programs, like the fuelperks! Reward Program, which lets customers earn incredible savings at participating Shell stations every time they shop with their Winn-Dixie customer reward card."
