We appreciate all the recent media coverage of our fight to save our Gainesville Winn-Dixie (see below for links), but we wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow (Sunday), December 8th, 2024 is the official last day you can shop at the store. Although we will not stop fighting even after closure (they could always change it back), we encourage everyone to visit one last time if they have not already!
Other ways you can still help and let Aldi and the community know how you feel:
1) Email, call, or write to Aldi's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jason Hart at: jason.hart@aldi.us
(630) 879-8100
1200 N Kirk Rd.
Batavia, IL 60510
2) Share your personal stories and memories in the Petition Comments section when you sign this Change.org petition, or go to the Reddit forum to discuss:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GNV/comments/1g7tkmk/psa_winn_dixie_on_sw_16th_closing_and_reopening/
3) Whenever you are in an Aldi (or Winn-Dixie), tell them to stop shutting down perfectly good stores without any input from the community or workers.
Thanks for the support (and all the signatures), and let us know if you receive any feedback from Aldi.
Never forget the "Winn-Winn" at Store #197!
