Winn-Dixie Invests $40 million in Lower Prices

Customers see price cuts on over 1,500 favorite grocery items

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Southeastern Grocers today announced a significant pricing initiative
that addresses exactly what customers need: a $40 million investment
into permanent lower prices on the products Winn-Dixie customers buy the
most.


Customers stated in a recent survey* that “affordable prices” was the
most important requirement from a grocery store, so effective today,
Winn-Dixie is introducing a New Regular Pricing Program that will
permanently reduce the prices on over 1,500 favorite grocery items, at
all 518 Winn-Dixie stores. This means customers will get better prices
for their favorite items, even when they are not on sale.

“Research consistently tells us that customers are seeking lower prices,
wherever they shop, particularly hardworking families shopping on a
budget,” said Ian McLeod, President and CEO of Southeastern Grocers –
home of Winn-Dixie. “We are listening to our customers and helping them
reduce the cost of their weekly shop by lowering the prices on over
1,500 of our customers’ favorites.”

Prices will be reduced on these items by almost 20 percent, on average,
with savings as high as 53 percent. Prices are being lowered on Family
Favorites; items that a significant majority of Winn-Dixie customers
purchase regularly. In addition to the new regular price, these items
will still be placed on sale occasionally, making the prices even lower.
