After a 17-year absence, Winn-Dixie is opening a new supermarket at 999 University Blvd. N. in College Park, formerly known as Town & Country shopping center. The grocery anchors the 70-year-old shopping center which is undergoing revitalization, renovation and redevelopment by JWB Real Estate Capital of Jacksonville.
