Amazon to Deliver Winn-Dixie Groceries In Florida
Winn-Dixie shoppers in key Florida markets now have the option of purchasing their groceries online via Amazon.com.
Through this collaboration, customers in the greater Jacksonville and Orlando metropolitan areas will have access to Winn-Dixie's fresh produce, quality meats, private-label brands, local favorites and specialty items delivered to their homes.
"Our collaboration with Amazon marks an exciting milestone in expanding access to Winn-Dixie's high-quality, affordable groceries," said Adam Kirk, chief customer and digital officer for Winn-Dixie’s parent company, Southeastern Grocers. "We're proud to offer fresh foods, local favorites and private-label brands such as Essentials, SE Grocers, Prestige and Know & Love brand products — plus exclusive customer favorites like Chek soda to more homes throughout Jacksonville and Orlando, with the convenience and speed of Amazon's trusted delivery network."
This new offering includes more than 16,000 items across multiple categories and is available for grocery delivery to customers in the following cities and towns in Jacksonville and Orlando: Atlantic Beach, Fleming Island, Gotha, Intercession City, Kissimmee, Neptune Beach, Ocoee, Orange Park, Ponte Vedra, Ponte Vedra Beach, Saint Johns, Windermere and Winter Park.
"We're always looking for ways to make grocery shopping easier, more convenient and meet evolving customer needs," said Sophie Turrell, director, U.S. Grocery Partnerships at Amazon. "By bringing Winn-Dixie's selection to Amazon, we're giving customers in Jacksonville and Orlando more choice and flexibility in how they shop for groceries, all with the convenience of Amazon delivery."
For a limited time, both Prime members and customers without a Prime membership will have access to free delivery on all Winn-Dixie orders over $25 with convenient two-hour delivery windows. Winn-Dixie members can link their Winn-Dixie Rewards account with their Amazon account to earn 1 point for every $2 spent on Winn-Dixie Amazon orders and redeem their points when shopping in store at Winn-Dixie.
The agreement with Amazon is the continuation of a busy year for Winn-Dixie, which in September is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
In February, a group of private investors led by the chief executive of Southeastern Grocers (SEG), along with C&S Wholesale Grocers, acquired Southeastern Grocers along with the Winn-Dixie and Harveys banners from Aldi U.S.
The deal happened 18 months after Aldi announced it was acquiring the two supermarket banners from SEG. The Aldi acquisition included approximately 400 Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket locations across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
The February deal included approximately 170 grocery stores in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, as well as the existing Winn-Dixie liquor store business.
