Sweetbay
 

Sweetbay will be known as Winn Dixie and use the member card

Why? What does that mean?

Parent company which owns both Sweetbay and Winn Dixie is changing the name. Winn Dixie has a member card that can be used at gas stations for discounts. OP is surmising that the member card will follow in the ex-Sweebay stores as well. Time will tell.

The new one is really nice.

Why not just open up as "Winn Dixie"? I take it that, Sweetbay has nothing to do with Hannaford's anymore?

I disagree with this decision. I would have changed the Winn Dixie stores to Sweetbay. IMHO Winn Dixie is a lower end grocery store. I'll stick to Publix.

Agree.

I'm sure many agree with you, but I also think quite a few (including my wife) feel otherwise.

I'm afraid to admit that I sometimes shop at Sav-A-Lot. Are the Twinkies from Sweetbay better than ones from Winn-Dixie?

really like to shop at sweetbay and will have to get used to winn dixie. have tried w/d and was not imporessed, but their stores and fixtures were old......the 2 swbay stores here are clean and modern so i guess it will not be such a transition.

I can't see why everyone can't just shop where they prefer . I will still love all y'all.

Fine, but everyone seems to want to shop at Puhlix.
P.S.,I don't agree that Winn Dixie is a lower grade store. I love Winn Dixie, but there isn't one anywhere near me.

It would appear that Winn-Dixie has a public perception problem. Trouble is that this is usually the reflection of a real problem.
