About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Winn-Dixie one morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the milk shelf—each carton had been carefully arranged in alphabetical order by brand. The delivery driver grinned and thought, ‘Someone’s got too much time on their hands!’ Later that day, he found the same pattern with cereals sorted by nutritional value. The next week, an elderly neighbor approached him, smiling: “I see you’ve met our new store organizer!” Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic volunteer who wanted to make shopping easier for everyone.
2. At Winn-Dixie one day, an old lady shopping with her granddaughter heard a sudden giggle from the cheese aisle. Peering around the corner, they saw nothing but empty shelves—and yet, the laughter persisted. Curious, the grandmother suggested they follow the sound. As they rounded the next corner, they found only a delivery driver restocking the shelves, who had accidentally left his radio on. The old lady shook her head and whispered to her granddaughter, ‘Some days, you just can’t trust those cheese aisles.’
3. At Winn-Dixie one afternoon, a cashier swiped a bag of chips and noticed they were marked as ‘free.’ Curious, she scanned another item—a can of beans—and it too was free. By dusk, every aisle had items mysteriously priced at zero dollars. Soon, customers started piling their carts high with everything from groceries to household goods—all for free. A delivery driver even loaded up his truck without anyone noticing. By closing time, the store was empty except for one old neighbor who asked the manager, ‘Did you know you gave away everything today?’ The manager shrugged, smiling, ‘Not our fault—it’s all marked “free”!’
4. At Winn-Dixie one night, a shopper found a mysterious note stuck inside a box of cereal: ‘Take what you want, leave what you can’t.’ Curious, the shopper took a packet of cookies and left an apple behind. Word spread quickly through town, and soon everyone was leaving notes in random places—‘Help yourself to chocolates, but take only one banana!’ One evening, a delivery driver found a note next to some eggs: ‘Only break what you eat.’ From then on, Winn-Dixie became known as the store where eggs cracked open by themselves if you looked away.
