CLOSINGS
The Winn-Dixie store in Cahaba Heights is slated to close between late April and mid-May.
The Winn-Dixie store at 3925 Crosshaven Drive in Cahaba Heights was expected to close permanently between late April and mid-May, the company that owns the grocery chain said. It is one of four Winn-Dixie stores in Alabama closing, said Meredith Hurley, the senior director for communications and community for Southeastern Grocers, which reacquired 170 Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores from Aldi last month. Aldi will continue converting 220 other Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores to the Aldi brand between now and 2027, but this store will not be part of that, the company said. Two of the other three Winn-Dixie stores in Alabama closing this spring are in Mobile, and the other is in Phenix City. The Cahaba Heights Winn-Dixie was the 10th largest source of sales tax revenues for the city of Vestavia Hills in 2024, according to the city’s 2024 audit.
