That store had been open a long time. Perhaps the rent increased to the point it was no longer profitable.
But isn't the W-D in Pinellas Plaza on TV property also?

Yes on TV Property...............but it's easy to blame The Developer, greed, etc.

:sing:

The Landlord doesn't "get a cut", he gets his RENT, which in the retail industry, is typically partly based on sales volume.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then does it really make a difference if you name it an Anas platyrhynchos or call it common?

I could be wrong, but I don't think a large grocery store goes bankrupt because of the rent. The rent is pocket change compared to their other expenses and revenue.

In the lease the landlord gets a percentage which I called his cut. Very common but in a low margin business can mean the difference between making or losing money.

I do not blame the developer at all it is just smart business.

Kind of like those of us who worked for a living, except we "got our cut" every 2 weeks.

Grocery store negotiate rent for very long term. The annual increases are known years in advance. No grocery store is making operating decisions in 3 year increments.

And BTW, Winn Dixie was sold - the buyer is replacing a Winn Dixie with a Aldi.

My exact thoughts; such an unfair world for some here in TV.

My understanding is Aldis bought out Winn Dixie completely. Winn Dixie stores will be closing throughout Florida. The Village's store is simply one of many.

Just one answer among many, but I can tell you my reason for buying salmon at Aldi. We are very picky so we don't eat salmon out (usually), and Aldi is the one place we can get NON POND RAISED, non Atlantic, USA Alaskan wild sockeye caught in season at a reasonable (not inexpensive but reasonable cost). We have and do order whole copper river salmon at Fresh market when available. Personally don't believe anyone can come close to quality of Aldi's produce, nor beat their prices. To each their own, at least we have many many choices here, something to please everyone hopefully,

Aldis bought Winn Dixie. *SOME* Winn Dixie stores will be changing to Aldis and others will remain Winn Dixie. Easy to Google.

I know there are differences between one market to another, Aldi is not Publix, Publix is not Winn Dixie, Winn Dixie is not Sams Club and so on, but there are so many to choose from it almost a joke.
I live off 466A, If I leave my house and turn the right Publix is 5 minutes away.
If I turn to the left, I have Aldi, Winn Dixie and another Publix about 5 minutes away.
I think this is much to do about nothing.

I can’t wait for Aldi’s to open! Love not having to drive the car.

Honestly do you buy Everything at Aldi? Never enter a grocery because Aldi has all of your grocery needs?

The loss of a grocery for some isn’t an issue because they can drive elsewhere. However there are some TV residents, who are cart bond, easily get lost due to unfamiliar surroundings.
The loss of WD will be a very big deal to them.
