Jacksonville, Fla. — Winn-Dixie is celebrating its centennial with nostalgic pricing, special celebrations and a renewed commitment to fighting hunger. For 100 years, the grocer has been more than just a store, it’s been a cornerstone of Southeast communities, serving generations through historic events, natural disasters and everyday moments. This milestone honors the people and places that made it possible.
“Reaching 100 years is an extraordinary milestone that belongs to everyone who has been part of Winn-Dixie’s journey — our associates, our customers and the communities we call home,” says Anthony Hucker, chairman & CEO for Southeastern Grocers, Winn-Dixie’s parent company. “As we celebrate our centennial, we honor our lasting legacy of serving our neighbors with quality and value and look ahead with a renewed commitment to empowering people to feed and enrich our communities as we carry Winn-Dixie into the next century.”
