About Winn Dixie
Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. is an American supermarket chain based in Jacksonville, Florida. Winn-Dixie has ranked number 24 in the 2010 “Top 75 North American Food Retailers” based on 2009 fiscal year estimated sales of $7.3 billion by Supermarket News. and was ranked the 43rd largest retailer in the United States based on 2006 revenues by Stores magazine. Winn-Dixie currently operates 485 stores in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, and Mississippi. The company has existed under its present name since 1955 and can date its roots back to 1925.
Prior to filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2005, Winn-Dixie was listed in the S&P 500 and had been traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “WIN” since February 18, 1952. The company was traded under the symbol “WINN” on the NASDAQ before its purchase. The bankruptcy also left the chain with fewer stores than it had in the late 1960s.
They are known for their private label Chek brand soft drinks, which are produced in over 20 different flavors plus diet and caffeine-free varieties—one of the widest assortments. They have also been known as “The Beef People”. In its advertising and print media Winn-Dixie now uses the brand promises of “Fresh Checked Every Day” in its Jacksonville DMA, “Getting Better All The Time” in its locations in Central Florida, “El Sabor De Tu Pais”, or “The Flavor Of Your Country”, in its Miami area stores, and “Local Flavor Since 1956” in its Louisiana area stores.
On December 19, 2011, BI-LO, another Southeastern supermarket chain, announced plans to purchase Winn-Dixie. On March 9, 2012, Winn-Dixie became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bi-Lo Holding and Winn-Dixie’s ticker symbol was removed from the NASDAQ. Bi-Lo Holdings announced at the time of acquisition that the merged company will be based out of Winn-Dixie’s former headquarters in Jacksonville. Bi-Lo had previously been based in Greenville, South Carolina.
