A UNIQUE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE Winn Dixie breaks tradition with a fresh market concept in its East Hallandale Beach location
Larry Blustein In anticipation of tonight’s official grand opening, Store Director Lavar Miller, District Manager Robin Castillo and Co-Director Walter Bieniek are excited for the residents to check out this impressive facility. Over the past few years, Winn Dixie Supermarkets throughout Florida, and the southeastern United States, have been fighting an uphill battle. At a time where the Wal-Marts and Targets have joined the hoards of grocery outlets that consumers have to choose from, it has been very tough for the company to hold onto its many stores, which have indeed been part of the landscape for generations. While many chains have closed up through the years, leaving behind only memories, there have been too many people who have worked too hard to keep Winn Dixie in the spotlight. That's why last December's sale to Bi-Lo LLC for $560 million, may have been just the turnaround this legendary grocery market had been searching for. While some locations have closed, the objective for the stores have changed. One of those facilities that will benefit in a major way is the 1515 East Hallandale Beach Blvd. location. Just one of four stores locally to reap the benefits of the acquisition by Bi-Lo, which is based in South Carolina, the Hallandale Beach location has certainly caught everyone's attention. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– BLUSTEIN, Page 3A
