The 55,000 square feet state-of-the-art supermarket, located at 70431 Highway 21 north of New Orleans, features a 24 feet tall open entranceway highlighted by an outdoor farmer’s market featuring fresh produce from local growers. This is the Jacksonville, Florida-based grocer’s first newly-constructed location since 2004.
The store showcases Winn-Dixie’s latest design concepts, including 21,000 square feet of polished wood flooring, 34,000 square feet of stained concrete flooring, and an exposed beam ceiling. At the entrance, a modern glass-front exterior overarches a covered walkway.
