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.
At this point the company kept expanding, purchasing additional retail chains and in 1955 changed its name to Winn Dixie after purchasing the Dixie Home retail chain, which owned a whopping amount of 117 stores, scattered throughout half a dozen States in Southeastern USA.
