Winn-Dixie has reduced hours at its location in Leesburg and announced the closing date for the store, which will be converted into a new Aldi.
The Winn-Dixie located at 27405 U.S. Highway 27 in Leesburg will close its doors on February 9, according to staff at the store.
The grocer will sell off its remaining merchandise at discounted rates, with all sales final, according to staff.
A visit to the store on Saturday, January 18, confirmed that shelves were being cleared at the location, which is situated within the Lake Harris Square shopping plaza.
Last week, the store reduced its hours to 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
With its closure, Leesburg will no longer have a Winn-Dixie in city limits.
The news of another Winn-Dixie being replaced by Aldi comes after similar reports on Villages-News.com and Ocala-News.com.
One of the locations in The Villages closed its doors on December 1.
Outside of Leesburg, Winn-Dixie currently operates locations in Tavares, Eustis, and Clermont in Lake County.
