Winn-Dixie closing 94 stores including SWFL locations

Southeastern Grocers, the parent company for Winn-Dixie and Harveys, announced Thursday it will close more than 90 stores as part of a restructuring deal.

The company says the closures are part of a plan to reduce debt. It also says it has a three-year plan for remodeling a “significant portion” of its stores.

“We will continue to thrive with 582 successful stores in operation and will continue to deliver a store experience our associates, customers and communities can count on,” the company said in a statement.

Three of the stores closing are here in Southwest Florida:
