Winn-Dixie

This is one of the former Sweetbay stores that Winn Dixie took over earlier this year.
Pro’s– the store is very clean and the aisles are pretty well stocked. The produce is very good most of the time. The staff is courteous and friendly. Ample parking.
Con’s– for a store that used to advertise themselves as the beef or meat people the selection is pitiful. Sale items seem to be put out a few packages at a time. Their prices are so extremely inflated it’s like being robbed. There seems to be a lack of name brand merchandise i.e. canned tomato purée, who doesn’t carry Progresso and Contadina??? The pharmacy dept is a joke… I get 3 months supply of prescriptions for one co-​pay. I generally have to return 3 – 4 times before they can fill my entire prescription in full. The battle ax behind the counter needs to retire and stop giving patrons a hard time. I was overcharged and charged full price for a sale item. When I went to customer service to have my money refunded I was refunded only the amount of the overcharged item less the tax I paid on it. When I asked why the tax I paid wasn’t refunded they told me it was store policy.
I do not expect this store to remain open for long. With the heavy senior population in the area many of who do not drive, we would have been better served had Publix taken over the store. I can hope can’t I???

I’m vegan, so right away I have a look at their produce section. Well stocked and kept clean. This is important cause I’d walk out if I thought the section was poorly managed. That being said I’ll be interested to see how they keep up with the change in sessions. They do have an organic section, I’d like to see more here. I’d really like it if they offer vegans more options. The rest of the supermarket is also well stocked. Many of the employees worked there before Sweetbay became Winn-​Dixie, so everyone is pretty friendly. Winn-​Dixie is a little pricey and some might find listed prices confusing. You have to make sure you read the sticker price or you might get stuck paying more at the register. The best advice here is get their Winn-​Dixie card and have it with you every time you go shopping.
