About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Winn-Dixie one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy aisle—a carton of milk with a handwritten note that read: ‘Take me home today.’ The delivery driver picked up the note and smiled, thinking it was some prank from a local kid. Later that day, he took the note to his supervisor, who posted it on the staff notice board. Soon enough, everyone in the store was talking about it, and customers started leaving little notes of their own—requests for specific items or even jokes. Before long, Winn-Dixie became known as the place where you could get more than just groceries; you might walk away with a friendly surprise too.
2. At Winn-Dixie one day, an elderly lady shopping for groceries heard a strange humming coming from the frozen foods section. Curious, she followed the sound until it led her to a box of ice cream that seemed to be singing softly to itself. As she approached closer, the ice cream started singing louder, ‘I’m lovin’ it, I’m lovin’ it!’ Soon, other shoppers joined in, forming a spontaneous karaoke choir. The manager, thinking it was a promotional stunt, rushed over with a microphone and a megaphone, only to realize they were dealing with a very enthusiastic—and slightly off-key—box of Ben & Jerry’s.
3. At Winn-Dixie one afternoon, a cashier was scanning groceries when she saw an unusual pattern on the bananas—each fruit seemed to be smiling back at her. Curious, she leaned closer and noticed that each banana had a tiny sticker with a smiley face printed on it. She laughed out loud, thinking how someone must’ve spent ages doing that. Just then, a delivery driver walked up and asked if everything was okay. ‘Bananas are happy today,’ she replied, still grinning. The driver shook his head, grinned too, and said, “Probably because they’re finally leaving Winn-Dixie!”
4. At Winn-Dixie one night, as a stocker was restocking shelves, he found a mysterious box labeled only ‘Open Me First.’ Inside was a note reading: 'If you’re seeing this, it’s because you’re the best employee.' The box contained a bag of freshly baked cookies and a card signed by everyone in the store. Turns out, it was an anonymous gesture from a grateful community.
