PORT ST. LUCIE — A familiar grocery landmark in Port St. Lucie is preparing for a major change. The Winn-Dixie store located at 281 SW Port St. Lucie Blvd will close in April to undergo conversion into an ALDI supermarket.
According to an official statement from Southeastern Grocers (the parent company to Winn-Dixie), all associates at the location have received advance notice, and will get priority to apply for positions at the upcoming ALDI store or transfer to other Winn-Dixie locations to continue their careers.
The official statement goes on to say, “Southeastern Grocers remains deeply committed to serving Florida communities as it enters its next chapter as The Winn-Dixie Company, continuing to operate approximately 130 traditional grocery stores and nearly 140 freestanding and grocery-adjacent liquor stores across the state. With a renewed focus on long-term growth across Florida and southern Georgia, Winn-Dixie will continue to deliver the quality, service and value that have defined Winn-Dixie for generations.”
