Winn-Dixie, Amazon expand grocery delivery partnership

Amazon and Winn-Dixie announced a major expansion of their grocery delivery partnership, further growing same-day delivery availability across Florida. Winn-Dixie grocery delivery on Amazon now reaches customers across the state's largest metropolitan areas, serving the majority of Florida households.

Winn-Dixie grocery delivery on Amazon is now available to customers throughout Florida. Customers in participating areas can shop more than 15,000 Winn-Dixie grocery items on Amazon — from ripe Florida produce and fresh seafood to Winn-Dixie's popular SE Grocers, Prestige and Know & Love Own Brand private label products—all delivered directly to their doorstep.

The expansion throughout Florida demonstrates strong momentum for a collaboration that began in September 2025. Since launching in the Jacksonville and Orlando regions several months ago, Winn-Dixie grocery delivery on Amazon now reaches customers across Florida's largest metropolitan areas with fast, flexible delivery.

“Since launching in Jacksonville and Orlando last fall, we’ve seen how much customers value the combination of Winn-Dixie’s trusted selection with Amazon’s convenient delivery," said Sophie Turrell, director of U.S. Grocery Partnerships at Amazon. "More Florida customers have been asking for the ability to shop their favorite local grocery store through Amazon, and we’re thrilled to deliver on that request. This expansion demonstrates our commitment to growing partnerships that customers love and bringing more local grocery favorites to more Florida families.”

“Winn-Dixie is a trusted hometown grocer that Floridians have relied on for generations, and this expansion allows us to serve even more families with the fresh, quality products and everyday value they expect," said Gayle Shields, chief merchandising and marketing officer for The Winn-Dixie Co. "Building on our initial launch, we’re now reaching the majority of Florida households — bringing added convenience and more savings to customers across the state.”
