Eustis, Tavares Winn Dixie Closing Dates

    Officials Southeastern Grocers this week updated the status of two area Winn-Dixie stores, with some changes confirmed.
    Officials stated that the 1955 North SR 19 store previously announced as closing after Christmas now has a formal date.  It will close on January 15 to begin the process of being converted to an ALDI.
    Previously, it was announced the area’s second Winn Dixie, located at 450 East Burleigh Boulevard in Tavares, would remain a Winn-Dixie.  However, those plans have now changed, and that store will also convert to an ALDI.  Closure date for that store is slated for early March.
    A wine and spirits store located next to the Tavares Winn-Dixie is expected to remain open.
    “All associates at the Eustis and Tavares grocery stores received advance notice, and Southeastern Grocers is working closely with ALDI to support a smooth transition,” said officials with Southeastern Grocery.  “Associates will have the first opportunity to apply for roles at the newly converted ALDI stores or may choose to continue their careers with Winn-Dixie at another location.”
    The announcement will leave the area without any Winn-Dixie stores going forward.
