  • Abandoned Winn Dixie - Reidsville, NC. It's not everyday you'll come across an abandoned Winn Dixie store. However in North Carolina, due to the company leaving in 2005, many of their former stores remain empty to this day including this one which sits behind a dead mall that is nearly in the same shape.

    As a local North Carolina resident who grew up here in the 90s and early 2000s, I can definitely say it was the early 2000s when they did close down so you are correct and the reasoning is true .... you have Food Lions all over, you have IGA branded groceries here and there .... Walmart and Target and Winn-Dixie was just pretty much an after-thought. I can only remember a handful of occasions going into a Winn-Dixie with my mom or grandmother as they were usually out of the area for us.

    Rock Hill, S.C. actually lost its Winn-Dixie before 2000. I forget the actual year. But in 1999 it re-opened as Hannaford. I have a File with the Company Logo and the file is stamped 10/9/1999 about Y2K (LoL). Hannaford's life at that former Winn-Dixie was very short-lived, however, when Food Lion pounced on Hannaford and it then went on to change over to a Food Lion, which it still is to this very day.

There are only two decent stores here that are relatively clean inside and it's sad because since their buyout it's worse. Thankfully the manager at my nearest store that is old make her people maintain it and it stays clean.

    The Kmart was built in the late 1970's. The old JC PENNY store that you refer to that is in such bad shape is in fact the original site of Winn-Dixie. They built the new store behind the mall and move into it. The JCPenney store that was in downtown Reidsville moved into the vacant Winn-Dixie building in the pennrose mall. Unfortunately Walmart can be blamed for many of these stores closing. Also there are three Food Lion grocery stores in Reidsville what's a Lowes food and of course don't forget Walmart grocery Center. The close down Kmart at one time was one of the nicest department stores in the city with an automotive center as well which was shut down in the early 1990s

    From 1996-2005 There Was
    This HUGE Surge in ALOT
    Of Supermarkets Opening
    Shop Here in NC, AFTER
    MOST Walmarts Were
    Revamping THEIR Stores
    Into Super-Centers! NOW

    Big Thing, Yet Wasn't THAT
