Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
Perhaps in some small areas Albertsons did WD in but there were not enough Albertsons in Florida proper to do anything significantly to WD.

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
Albertsons was never big enough in Florida to put a dent in WD. Remember that Albertsons doesn't go to the smaller towns; WD did and did pretty well until Publix ran them over.storewanderer wrote: ↑November 29th, 2024, 12:00 pm In Florida, Albertsons probably was a significant problem for Winn Dixie... since Albertsons kept developing stores there through the 90's and into the 00's. I wonder if the exit of Albertsons from FL is what enabled Winn Dixie to keep scraping along as long as it has? Jacksonville, coincidentally the Winn Dixie HQ, was an early exit by Albertsons; and it seems like Winn Dixie spent more money there after that exit of Albertsons.
It seems like Kroger kicked them out of competition pretty early on where the two competed.
Plus, they gave up Florida first. There's something to be said for that.
