With this, your Southeastern Retail Bloggers have decided to compile a rolling list of all stores we've uncovered that are set to change as part of the "negotiated takeover".

They better not dare touch Store #355 in Boca Raton!
ReplyDeleteAll bets are off because I honestly don't know what Aldi will end up doing. At least 355 seems like a well-kept store from pictures and has a competitive edge to Aldi with its expanded Kosher sections. There also seem to be several Aldi stores nearby. Regardless, I'd say nearby #345 and #349 are safe for the time being since they are right next door to an Aldi!
DeleteI remember when Store #291 opened, taking up a former Publix when it relocated across U.S. Highway 441. A new store right in the middle of the Great Recession, too! I never understood why Store #345 in Deerfield Beach remained open while #207 down the street in Pompano Beach and at a more visible and trafficked intersection closed. In retrospect, just as well I suppose, because the latter would have been further from an existing Aldi, therefore more venerable.
DeleteWith that about a kosher section, the same applies to Store #291 in Aventura. It wouldn't surprise me if Aldi converts one of the Hallandale Beach stores further north, however.
Unless I'm looking at the wrong store (and my Spanish skills have gotten that rusty), it looks like WD #291 opened in 2004 in a building that WD had also occupied several years earlier. Publix #30, which was replaced in 2017, just moved across the parking lot to #1558 when it closed.
DeleteRegardless, it is cool to see the Kosher section in WD #291 as well!
Forgive me for being numerically challenged, because I meant Store #349 in my first recollection.
DeleteYes, that makes much more sense! WD #349 replaced Publix #364. It's crazy to see how WD gutted the store, too. From the pictures, it looks like the terrazzo floors and the street numbers on the window are some of the only things left.
DeleteMaybe the recession is what resulted in so few of those "transformational" Winn-Dixies from opening. It's a shame because the two I've been to were very nice!
