Winn-Dixie is closing its remaining 7 stores in Alabama between late January and late March.

Here are the details.

According to a statement released by Southeastern Grocers to The Bama Buzz, below are the the closing dates and stores:

Late January, the Winn-Dixie stores located at 187 Baldwin Square in Fairhope, 4724 Mobile Highway and 740 N. Schillinger Road in Mobile.

This fall, Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. announced that it planned to exit the entire state of Alabama by the end of 2025 to focus on its markets in Florida and Georgia. The Florida-based supermarket chain was founded in 1925 and has had a presence in Alabama since the 1960s, when it acquired the Birmingham-based chain of Hill’s Food Stores.

“As we strategically refocus on our home state of Florida and select southern Georgia markets, we can confirm that the following Alabama Winn-Dixie stores will close early this year.

Every impacted associate will be treated with care and respect as we navigate this transition, and we remain committed to serving our customers and communities through the stores’ final days of operations.”
