A Remodeled 1990's Winn-Dixie! - St. Petersburg, FL.

After touring Publix #395, here we are down the street at the nearby Winn-Dixie grocery store! Winn-Dixie is a competitor to Publix stores here in Florida.

Winn-Dixie #649

11100 4th Street North, St. Petersburg, FL - Bayview Plaza

Winn-Dixie #649 opened in 1990.

Just like what the title says, this is a newly remodeled Winn-Dixie grocery store, replacing the America's Store interior after 30 years. A tour of a very similar Winn-Dixie store like this one can be viewed here, but with this store's before look.

This setup of automatic doors (two entrances on the side, two doors for the exit) is a common trait of 1990's-built Winn-Dixie stores like these. Store #678 (closed) only had 1 entrance door.

Welcome to your Winn-Dixie on 4th Street!

Since this store is located in Saint Petersburg (Florida), Winn-Dixie added a special department here in the store's former 1-hour photo center.

Our first look at the produce department, completed with newly updated flooring and signage!

The other section of produce, labeled as fruits and vegetables.

Wine and beer takes up the first aisle in Winn-Dixie store 649.

Deli, kitchen, seafood, butcher! Compare this image to what this exact area looked like before 2019…

Aisle 1 has candy and drinks, while aisle 2 is Winn-Dixie’s dollar section!

Here is another look at aisle 2. Winn-Dixie first started to implement dollar sections for newly opened and remodeled stores back in 2017.

Frozen foods are located on aisles 7 and 8. All of the flooring was replaced by Winn-Dixie in the 2019 remodel, so this means no more diamond floor patterns in frozen foods!

Looking towards the back left corner and lunch meats. This Winn-Dixie store does not have 16 or 17 aisles, as you will start to see the aisle numbers increase here shortly.

Aisle 15, with a selection of health and beauty products.

Lunch meat signage.

Signage for the last 4 aisles in the store (17 to 20)

Approaching aisles 19 and 20… this Winn-Dixie has a lot of grocery aisles!

Although this store is in the 47,500 square foot range, Winn-Dixie stores with that specific square footage would have had 14 to 16 aisles. This store has 20 (!) aisles, more suitable for a Winn-Dixie grocery store in the 55,000 to 60,000 square foot range.

A look at the bakery department. Next to that would have been a pharmacy before the year 2014.

Now for another before image of the bakery…

Here is the front end, with all of these self checkout lanes!

This is not my first time seeing a Winn-Dixie with self checkouts, but this is my first with more self lanes than regular ones!

An example of Winn-Dixie’s self checkout user interface, with Toshiba point of sale systems.

Thanks for shopping at your 4th Street Winn-Dixie!

Winn-Dixie opened up this new liquor store last year in what used to be empty space.

And finally, here is a picture of the roadside sign for Bayview Plaza facing 4th Street/112th Avenue.
