48th St. and 49 Arlington Rd. S. in Jacksonville in mid-May as part of our ongoing efforts to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our business,” said Meredith Hurley, Winn-Dixie senior director of communications and community, in an emailed statement to the Record. “We understand the impact this decision has on our associates and are committed to supporting them through this transition. Associates who wish to continue their careers with Winn-Dixie may apply for open positions at nearby stores, and eligible associates who do not transfer will receive severance.”, Winn-Dixie converted the 43,149-square-foot store, built in 1983, from its SaveRite banner into Winn-Dixie in 2011 and then into Harveys in 2016. It is about 1 mile east of the Winn-Dixie in Gateway Town Center along Norwood Avenue.Built in 1988, it was a Winn-Dixie that was converted into Harveys in 2017, according to the Record. The 46,222-square-foot store is about 2.5 miles southeast of the Winn-Dixie in College Park at 999 University Blvd. N. City Council member Ken Amaro, who represents District 1 where the Arlington store will close, told the Record that the closure will create a “food desert” for the neighborhood on that side of Atlantic Boulevard. “I understand corporations looking at their balance sheets, nevertheless I hope the new owners of the Winn-Dixie brand will find a way to keep serving that area,” Amaro wrote in an email to the Record.“The conversions mark another step forward in the company’s evolution to The Winn-Dixie Company, reflecting a sharpened focus on growing the Winn-Dixie brand and delivering a more unified grocery experience for customers,” the release read.No specific dates have been provided for the upcoming conversions, though the company noted it will release more updates as they continue. The conversions are part of a plan by Jacksonville-based Winn-Dixie to focus on its home state of Florida and the Northeast Florida region after selling its stores in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and much of Georgia.DNA test connects Clay County Navy veteran to WWII POW missing for over 80 yearsSt. Augustine replacing downtown parking kiosks with cashless touchscreensHundreds participate in Jacksonville ‘No Kings’ rally against Trump administrationFlagler College students protest housing policy as seniors cite affordability, availability concernsGAME DAY ⚾🦐 The defending Triple-A National Champion Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp returnShould an HOA or property management company be required to post parking rules for visitors?Fights erupt at Palatka Junior-Senior High after field trip focused on mental healthMother of teen punched during arrest says officer went too far⚾️ Opening Day + perfect weather=the ultimate Friday night in JaxStudy finds most ‘Mayport Shrimp’ dishes served in Jacksonville area are actually importedNew ‘larger format’ Publix store in SilverLeaf features wine bar, expanded deli menu, custom pizzasFamily of A’hmari Robinson shares stories at candlelight vigil days after his death
