Wake County, North Carolina. (Redirected from Wake County, NC) Wake County is a county in the US state of North Carolina. As of July 1, 2015, the population was 1,024,198, making it North Carolina's second-most populated county.
Winn-Dixie Stores has found -- as Jefferson Davis did long ago -- that winning Dixie ain't easy. The Deep South supermarket chain operates about 550 combination food and drug stores throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi under the Winn-Dixie and Winn-Dixie Marketplace banners.
So, it is with some personal interest that I hear yet more speculation and frenzied rumor-trading that the grocery giant The Kroger Co. could buy up Winn-Dixie sites in the Florida market and challenge the giant here, Publix Super Markets. Opinions differ markedly.
