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.
Although the store was short lived, this was where Winn Dixie first got started. By the early 1920âs, Davisâ business began to suffer heavy losses and in 1925 he was forced to borrow $10,000 from his father which he used to move his family to Miami where he purchased a grocery store called Rockmoor Grocery.
