Someone mentioned yesterday that Winn Dixie has purchased the Sweat Bay stores in The Villages. Is that fact or just a rumor?
Please say it is not so! We do not need another large chain store which stocks 70% private label! ![]() |

Sweet Bay, Winn Dixie, Save-a-Lot are all Owned by the same company. Sweet Bay located in Sumter Landing will be re-modeled and renamed " Winn Dixie ". Yes Sweet Bay as it is known is will be heading out, in name only.

Too bad. Ownership and merchandise aside, I always liked the name "Sweet Bay" and found myself attracted to these stores based on name alone. "Winn Dixie" has a negative connotation for me.

Actually, SweetBay left The Villages in May 2013 when it was sold to BI LO LLC.
Winn Dixie also is owned by BI LO, a super market chain located in South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. 54% of the BI LO LLCompany is in hand of a Dutch-Belgium owner. In May 2013, Sweetbay and its sister supermarket chains Harveys and Reid's were sold to BI-LO LLC for $265 million. Also included in the transaction were leases to 10 Sweetbay locations that closed in January 2013. On October 8, 2013, BI-LO announced it would retire the Sweetbay brand, and rename all Sweetbay locations to Winn-Dixie. |

I hate their ads that apply only those carrying their card. If i go into Publix their sale prices are for everyone but Winn Dixie will charge me more than the person behind me because I don't carry their card.
