Do you have a Winn-Dixie near you? They just (last week) got snapped up
by ALDI. Bv)=
They had all left this area long ago. I was surprised to hear that
there were any left to be snapped up!
When they left here, their prices were better than Krogers or Wal-Mart.
:(

The acquisition - which includes Harveys Supermarket - will add
locations across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi to Aldi's portfolio. Almost 300 of these stores are based in Florida.
I only shopped a Winn Dixie one time. When I attended my 1st echo picnic
in Alabama. Had to get some ground beef for my planned pot of red. The service meat counter set me right up with some freshly coarse-ground 80/20 (chuck) and a small package of suet.

I think they pulled out of Kentucky, and points north, sometime around 2000. I don't see Tennessee listed, either. I have not been farther south than Tennessee since 2000 so that explains why I didn't know they were still going strong in the deep Southeast. ;)

When I moved here, according to the locals, the meat counters ranked as follows: Pic-Pac, Winn Dixie, Kroger, and then Save-A-Lot. Now the
first two are gone. I am not too surprised that you got good service.
