Winn-Dixie Preparing to Open in the City of Alachua

The City of Alachua is excited to welcome Winn-Dixie to our community!

Work at the new location is moving quickly, and the progress underway is an encouraging sign that the store is advancing toward its grand opening. The activity at the site reflects a significant private investment in the property and the continued growth of Alachua’s commercial community.

That this revitalization is happening within the City’s Community Redevelopment Agency Coordinator is exciting because projects like this help revitalize commercial properties, create new employment opportunities, expand shopping options for residents, and strengthen the local economy.

We look forward to seeing the transformation completed and welcoming Winn-Dixie’s team and customers to the new Alachua location.

Welcome to the City of Alachua, Winn-Dixie—we are excited to have you here!
