Winn-Dixie to Close 3 Ga. Stores

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Winn-Dixie will be closing three of its five stores in the Albany, Ga., area on or before March 5, a spokeswoman for the chain told SN Wednesday.

“Business conditions occasionally force companies like ours to make tough strategic decisions,” Rondel Cuyler, director of public relations for Winn-Dixie, said.

The closures would leave Winn-Dixie with two stores in the area: One on Old Dawson Rd. in Albany and another in nearby Leesburg, Cuyler said.

Winn-Dixie is a division of Bi-Lo Holdings, based here.
