SEG Opens New Winn-Dixie in Florida, Readies 2 More

Southeastern Grocers (SEG), Store Brands’ 2022 Retailer of the Year, is expanding its Winn-Dixie banner in its home state of Florida.

First covered by Store Brands’ sister publication Progressive Grocer, the retailer has opened a new Winn-Dixie location near Jacksonville with plans for two more to soon open in the state. The latest Winn-Dixie in the Grand Cypress community is the banner’s seventh location in St. Johns County and its first newly-constructed store in more than a decade. The 41,454-square-foot store is adjacent to a stand-alone Winn-Dixie liquor store and serves a fast-growing local population.

SEG is also putting the finishing touches on other soon-to-open Winn-Dixie locations in the College Park neighborhood of Jacksonville and in Apopka City Center in Central Florida. Shoppers at all of the new stores can take advantage of the recently-launched online shopping and delivery services that offer the same promotions and prices as in-store assortments.

“Our goal is to positively impact our local communities through service, both inside and outside our stores. While we pride ourselves on offering a remarkable shopping experience for our customers, we’re also committed to being the grocer our customers and associates can always count on,” said Southeastern Grocers president and CEO Anthony Hucker. “With the investment of our new stores throughout our home state of Florida, we look forward to supporting the growth and betterment of our communities and providing our customers with quality products at an affordable price, so they don’t have to compromise when it comes to nourishing their families.”

Based in Jacksonville, Fla., SEG operates about 420 grocery stores, 140 liquor stores and more than 200 in-store pharmacies throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
