Winn-Dixie now open

Winn-Dixie in Inverness Corners held its grand opening on Nov. 20.

The store is anticipated to be a flagship store for the company and includes a host of features to serve 280 residents.

“The amenities in our new Birmingham store offer a one-stop shopping experience unlike any other,” said Tim Flavin, Montgomery Region vice president of Winn-Dixie Stores, in a statement. “We’ve fine-tuned our store to reflect the needs and preferences of the local community, providing our customers with exceptional service and the freshest products at the right price.”

Flavin said the store offers an array of custom-prepared, chef-inspired meals, a selection of organic fruits and vegetables and an expanded assortment of gluten-free, allergen-free, organic and natural products. In addition, the company has installed a carving station, butcher shop, cheese shop, barbecue bar and pharmacy and offers an extensive wine selection, fresh seafood and sushi.

New and returning customers will also see dramatic changes to the look of Inverness Corners, as its owners have made a substantial investment in improvements to the exterior. Gone are forest green rooftops and blanket brick facades, replaced by bright stucco storefronts, elegant stonework and wood ceilings.

In addition, the center’s owners have repaved the parking lot and installed a new lighting system.
