I've stopped in a couple of times out of convenience when traveling. Sorry to see it go. And I live in TV.

Why soooo much negativity without any stated reasons to justify it?
Winn Dixie in our opinion has the best meats. Pork Chops & Steak are always very flavorful & tender.
I just can't be happy about any business closing that puts people out of their needed jobs.

Many of there employees came to the new store to help ease the opening and helping new employees learn the ropes. Some of them stayed. I hope the rest can be relocated to other stores.
Me, too. we've been shopping there since we moved here. Great store with very helpful employees. Loved their butcher and meat department; however, since the new store opened in Pinellas, I shop there now. Much prefer the WD meats to any meats sold at Publix.

I shopped there many a time before the new one opened and NEVER saw a problem with the place or the people. As for the sketchier people at the porch bar I think that was uncalled for period. If you don't like a store or a bar don't go period. The bottom line is the store is closing and more people will be out of work and that's a shame period. JMO

Maybe so, but if they offer jobs to the people in the Wildwood store, they would most likely have to pick up and move. Not so easily done.

Default WD in Pinellis

Yesterday I was heading for the new publix when my tire blew on 466A. Because WD was right there I went there and shopped while my husband dealt with the tire problem.
I have always heard they have the best beef. I wanted a beef roast. I had my choice of exactly one rather expensive roast.
I could not find the cereal my husband eats, white thread, the Soup I live on, or the shaved roast beef that they have in the LSL store. On a list of nine items I could not find four of them. I spoke with the store director and he said he knows there are things they need to add and he is working on it.
I jokingly asked him if we should shop at Publix in the mean time... He said they are trying to avoid that. I also pointed out how small the meat section is and he agreed., especially since they stand on being the meat people. The store is clean, close, has nice employees and I am going to drive right past it to shop at Publix since the new one is not as cluttered. That is if my tires don't blow.
