Pandering to the extreme minority is the modern day corporate sepuku.

They have gone bankrupt twice in the last 15 years

2005 and 2018

I heard the only remaining Sambo’s restaurant changed their name, so that’s available if Winn-Dixie is interested.

Winn Dixie has survived bankruptcy twice since the turn of the century.

Their prices are more racist than their name.

Winn Dixie hasn't gone bankrupt yet?

They'll definitely go bankrupt with this name change.


Southeastern Grocers recently shut down the Bi-Lo brand.

They're being bitch slapped by Publix throughout the south.

Winn-Dixie already struggles in this market against Publix


The one by my house doesn't even have shrimp ramen. It's suitable for grannies and observant Jews, but kind of weak for the rest of us.

Good idea, Winn-Dixie was a terrible name anyway. A better name would be Whistling Dixie.

I looked up the word Dixie and its origin:

quote:

The word "Dixie" refers to currency issued first by the Citizens State Bank in the French Quarter of New Orleans and then by other banks in Louisiana.[22]These banks issued ten-dollar notes[23]labeled Dix on the reverse side, French for "ten". The notes were known as "Dixies" by Southerners, and the area around New Orleans and the French-speaking parts of Louisiana came to be known as "Dixieland"


That's all.
