                      WINN-DIXIE STORES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (UNAUDITED)
     (A)  Financial information reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion
          of management,  are necessary to reflect the results of operations and
          financial position  for the quarters shown.  These condensed financial
          statemen ts should be read  in conjunction with the  fiscal 1994 Form
          10-K Annual Report of the Company.

          The consolidated financial statements  include the accounts of  Winn-
          Dixie Stores,  Inc. and its subsidiaries which operate as a major food
          retailer in  the southeastern and southwestern United States and Baha-
          mas Islands.

     (B)  Merchandise inventories are stated  at the lower of  cost or market,
          approximately 92% of which are valued under the LIFO method.

     (C)  Results for the  quarter reflect  a pretax LIFO  inventory charge  of
          $3.6 million  in 1995 and in 1994.  The cumulative current year charge
          is  $6.3 million as  compared with $6.3 million  in 1994. If the  FIFO
          method  had been used, current  quarter net earnings would  have been
          $69.7  million or $0.94  per share as  compared with net  earnings of
          $6 6.0 million or $0.88 per share  in the previous year.  The  cumula-
          tive  year net earnings would have  been $111.5 million, or $1.50 per
          share as compared with $103.7 million, or $1.38 per share.

     (D)  The Company has an authorized $200 million  Commercial Paper Program
          and short-term lines of credit totaling $235 million. On January 11,
          1995, there  was $55 million in commercial paper and $4.5 million from
          bank lines of credit outstanding as compared to $140 million in com-
          mercial paper outstanding on January 12, 1994.

     (E)  The provision  for income taxes reflects management's best estimate of
          the effective tax rate expected for the  fiscal year.  The effective
          tax rate used for fiscal year 1995 is 36% as compared to 38% in 1994.

     (F)  Litigation: There are pending against the Company various claims and
          lawsuits arising in  the normal course  of business, including  suits
          charging violations of certain civil rights laws.

          The U.S. Environmental Protection  Agency has  notified the  Company
          that it is one of the many potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for
          clean up of two designated Superfund sites located in Tampa, Florida,
          three such sites in  Jacksonville (2 related sites)  and one site in
          Madison, Florida.  The Company may  be a PRP for cleanup of  one non-
          Superfund site in Tarrant County, Texas.  Although cleanup costs are
          believed to  be substantial, accurate estimates will not  be available
          until studies have been completed at the sites.

          The Company has  entered into orders  by consent with numerous other
          PRPs to conduct studies  and do cleanup  for three of  the Superfund
          sites and is negotiating an agreement with PRPs who are under an  or-
          der at another  Superfund site to  determine the most  cost-effective
          way to clean up such sites. Although under federal statutes the Com-
          pany is jointly and severally liable for cleanup costs at each loca-
          tion, the Company's share of total  costs is estimated not to exceed
          $500,000 for  four of the Superfund sites and the Texas site. The Com-
          pany believes it is not a responsible party for cleanup of the  Madi-
          son, Florida,  and Tarrant County, Texas, sites and has no estimate of
          costs for those  matters.  Other  than these two  and the New  Mexico
          site mentioned below,  these involve  wastes the Company  paid to  be
          properly disposed, and were mishandled by disposal companies or pub-
          lic disposal sites.

          At one of the Tampa sites, the Company is one of 14 parties named as
          respondents in a Unilateral Administrative Order for Remedial Design
          and Remedial Action under 47 U.S.C. Section 9606(a) relating to a
          disposal site formerly operated by Hillsborough County, Florida. The
          parties are ordered to operate, maintain and monitor a water cleaning
          system and perform Remedial Design for the site.  The costs to the
          Company are estimated at $150,000 in fiscal year 1995, with addi-
          tional annual costs for an indefinite period thereafter.

          The Company is also involved in the cleanup of a fuel tank leak at a
          New Mexico site formerly owned by it.  The cleanup costs are to be
          prorated with others on the basis of the total time of ownership of
          the participants. The Company's share is 15% of the total costs esti-
          mated to be less than $150,000, with minimal annual monitoring costs
          thereafter.

          It is the Company's policy to accrue and charge against earnings, the
          environmental cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has
          been incurred and an amount can be reasonably estimated, including
          evaluation of the other PRPs' ability to pay. The Company believes
          its ultimate liability as to these environmental matters will not
          necessitate significant capital outlays, will not materially affect
          the annual earnings of the Company, nor cause material changes in the
          Company's business.  It is not possible to quantify future environ-
          mental costs because many issues relate to actions by third parties
          or changes in environmental regulation.

          Although the amount of liability with respect to all other claims and
          lawsuits cannot be ascertained, management is of the opinion that any
          resulting liability will not have a  material affect on the Company's
          consolidated earnings or financial position.

                      WINN-DIXIE STORES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     This analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated
     Financial Statements.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Sales for the current quarter were $3.5 billion, a $156.8 million increase,
     or 4.6% over the comparable quarter ended  January 12, 1994. Year-to-date,
     sales were $6.1 billion,  a $282.8 million,  increase over the  comparable
     period last year. Sales  increases resulted primarily from  an increase in
     average store sales. The increase in identical store sales was 2.7% for the
     quarter and 3.1% year-to-date.  Average store sales increased 6.1% for the
     quarter and year-to-date.

     The Company opened 42 new stores, averaging 46,400 square feet, enlarged or
     remodeled 42 stores, and  closed 43 older stores,  averaging 26,700 square
     feet. As of  January 11,  1995, retail space  totaled 41.8  million square
     feet. Currently, 52 new stores are  under construction.  The Company plans
     to open  80 new stores in the current  fiscal year.  The Company has  1,158
     stores in operation  compared with 1,172  stores last year.   Of the  1,158
     stores, 673 are larger than 35,000  square feet.  Stores not performing  up
     to expectations were closed,  which resulted in  a reduction in  the total
     number of stores.

     Gross profit increased $43.5  million for the  quarter and $77.9  million,
     year-to-date.  As a percent to sales, gross profit for the current  quarter
     was  22.9%, compared  to 22.7% in the  previous year.  Year-to-date,  gross
     profit as a percent to sales was 22.8%   in the current  year, compared to
     22.6% in the previous year.  The  increase in gross profit is a  result of
     our larger stores having  a different inventory mix  which has an improved
     gross profit percentage.

     Operating and administrative expenses increased $37.7 million for the cur-
     rent quarter and $68.2 million year-to-date.  As a percent to sales,  oper-
     ating and administrative expenses for the current quarter were 20.7%, com-
     pared to 20.5%  last year. Year-to-date,  operating and administrative  ex-
     penses, as a percent to sales were 20.9% for the current year and 20.7% for
     the previous year. Our increase in operating and administrative expense is
     due to payroll, occupancy and depreciation expense.

     Cash discounts and other  income totaled $32.4  million the first  quarter
     and $55.1 million year-to-date. Investment income for  the current quarter
     totaled $0.3  million compared  to $1.4  million last  year. Year-to-date,
     investment income totaled $0.5  million for the current  year, compared to
     $2.3 million in the  previous year.  The  decrease in investment income  is
     due to a reduction in funds available for investment.

     Interest expense totaled $4.8 million for  the current quarter compared to
     $5.1 million for  the comparable period  last year. Year-to-date,  interest
     expense totaled $8.2 million for the  current period compared to $9.1 mil-
     lion in the previous year.  The decrease in interest expense for  the quar-
     ter is due to a reduction in the issuance of commercial paper.

     Earnings before income taxes  were $105.4 million for  the current quarter
     compared to $102.9   million in the previous  year. Year-to-date, earnings
     before income taxes  were $168.0  million in the  current year  and $160.9
     million in the previous year. The increase in pretax earnings is primarily
     a result of the increase in  gross profit as previously mentioned.   Income
     taxes have  been accrued at an effective  rate of 36% for the current  year
     and 38.0% for the previous year.  This rate is expected to approximate  the
     effective rate for the full 1995 fiscal year.

     Net earnings amounted to $67.5 million, or $0.91 per share for the  current
     quarter compared to $63.8  million, or $0.85 per  share for the comparable
     period last year. Year-to-date, net earnings amounted to $107.5 million or
     $1.45 per share compared to $99.7 million, or $1.33 per share for  the pre-
     vious year. The LIFO charge reduced net earnings by $2.3 million, or  $0.03
     per share for the  current quarter compared to  $2.3 million, or $0.03  per
     share in the previous year. Year-to-date, the LIFO charge reduced net earn-
     ings by $3.9 million, $0.05 per  share compared to $3.9 million, $0.05  per
     share in the previous year.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's financial condition remains very sound and very strong.  Cash
     and cash equivalents amounted  to $26.9 million at  January 11, 1995.   Net
     cash provided by operating activities amounted to $168.5 million for the 28
     weeks ended January 11, 1995 compared to $195.5 million for the comparable
     period last year.  Capital expenditures totaled $168.4 million compared to
     $140.6 million for the  comparable period last  year.  These  expenditures
     were for new store locations, remodeling and enlargement of store locations
     and maintenance and expansion of support facilities.  Total capital invest-
     ment in Company retail and support facilities, including operating leases,
     is estimated to  be $600.0  million in 1995.  The Company  has no  material
     construction or purchase commitments outstanding as of January 11, 1995.

     Working capital amounted to $483.5 million at January 11, 1995 compared to
     $488.0 million at June 29, 1994.

     The Company has an  authorized $200 million Commercial  Paper Program.  In
     addition, the  Company has  $235 million  of  short-term lines  of credit.
     These lines of  credit are available  when needed during  the year and  are
     renewable on an  annual basis.   The Company  is not  required to  maintain
     compensating bank balances in connection with these lines of credit.  As of
     January 11,  1995, $55.0  million of  commercial paper  was outstanding  as
     compared to  $140.0 million  in the  previous year.  Short-term borrowings
     against our  bank lines of credit were $4.5 million as of January 11,  1995
     as compared to none on January 12, 1994.

     Excluding capital leases, the Company had no outstanding long-term debt as
     of either January 11, 1995 or June 29, 1994.

     The Company's available credit facilities and cash flow from operations are
     considered adequate to fund the short-term  and long-term capital needs of
     the Company.

     The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has notified  the Company that it
     is one of the many  potentially responsible parties (PRPs)  for cleanup of
     two designated Superfund sites located in Tampa, Florida, three such sites
     in Jacksonville (2 related  sites) and one site  in Madison, Florida.   The
     Company may  be a  PRP for  cleanup of  one non-Superfund  site in  Tarrant
     County, Texas.   Although  cleanup costs  are believed  to be  substantial,
     accurate estimates will not be available until studies have been completed
     at the sites.

     IMPACT OF INFLATION

     The Company's primary costs, which are inventory  and labor, increase with
     inflation.  Recovery of these increases has to come from improved operating
     efficiencies and, to the extent permitted  by our competition, through im-
     proved gross profit margins.

                       (Effective January 24, 1990)

           (Revised June 22, 1992, effective June 1, 1992; and
            further Revised June 22, 1994, and July 25, 1994)
                             _______________

                                ARTICLE I.
                     Designation and Purpose of Plan

    The Plan shall be known as the "Winn-Dixie Key Employee Stock
Option Plan".  The purpose of the Plan is to promote in the Company's
key employees additional incentive by inducing and enabling them to
become part owners of the business or to increase their share of its
ownership through the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan.

                               ARTICLE II.
                               Definitions

    The following words and phrases wherever used herein shall, unless
the context otherwise indicates, have the following meanings:
              1.    "Committee" shall mean a committee of at least two
persons appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company each of whom
shall be a director of the Company.
              2.    "Eligible Employee" shall mean any person who, at
the time an option is granted hereunder, shall be a member of the
Executive Committee of the Company, other than the Chairman of the
Board, or is a Division President or Division Manager.
              3.    "Option" shall mean any Option granted or held
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.  Options shall be evidenced by
forms prescribed by the Committee.
              4.    "Optionee" shall mean any person who at the time
in question holds any Option which then remains unexercised in whole or
in part and which has not expired or terminated.
              5.    Company" shall mean Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. and
"Board" or "Board of Directors" shall mean the Board of Directors of
the Company.
              6.    "Plan" shall mean this Winn-Dixie Key Employee
Stock Option Plan.
              7.    "Return on Capital" shall mean the percentage
which the net earnings of the Company for a particular fiscal year
bears to the average net shareholder equity for such fiscal year, in
each case as reflected in the financial statements of the Company for
such fiscal year as reported in the Company's Annual Report to its
stockholders.
              8.    "Stock" shall mean the Company's Common Stock,
having a par value of $1.00 per share, as constituted on October 31,
1990, whether presently authorized and unissued or held in the
Company's treasury, or hereafter reacquired by the Company.  In the
event that the Stock shall be split up, divided or otherwise
reclassified into a greater number of shares of Stock or of any other
class of Common Stock of the Company, the term "Stock" shall thereafter
mean the Common Stock of the Company into which the shares of Stock
were so split up, divided or otherwise reclassified; and the remaining
number of shares of Stock which may thereafter be sold pursuant to the
Plan and the remaining number of shares of Stock which may thereafter
be purchased pursuant to the exercise of any Option then outstanding
shall be correspondingly increased.  In case any dividend payable in
shares of Stock is paid to the holders of outstanding shares of Stock,
the remaining number of shares of Stock which may thereafter be sold
pursuant to the Plan and the remaining number of shares of Stock which
may thereafter be purchased pursuant to the exercise of any Option then
outstanding shall be increased by the percentage which the number of
shares of Stock so paid as a dividend bears to the total number of
shares of Stock outstanding immediately prior to the payment of such
dividend; provided, however, that no such increase shall be made with
respect to any dividend aggregating less than 20% of the total number
of shares of Stock outstanding immediately prior to the payment
thereof.

                               ARTICLE III.
                   Shares Available for Purchase

              Subject to the anti-dilution provisions contained in the
definition of Stock in Article II hereof, except as provided in Article
VII hereof, the maximum number of shares of Stock which may be sold
pursuant to the exercise of Options shall be 1,000,000.  Except as
provided in Article VII hereof, at no time shall there be Options
outstanding for the purchase of more than 1,000,000 shares of Stock
(subject to said anti-dilution provisions) less such number of shares
as have previously been sold pursuant to the exercise of Options.  If
an Option shall for any reason terminate or expire, any shares of Stock
covered by such Option immediately prior to its termination or
expiration shall again become available for sale pursuant to the
exercise of other Options granted or to be granted pursuant to the
Plan.
              No Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be
exercisable, and no shares of Stock shall be sold or issued upon the
exercise of any Option unless, at the time of such exercise, sale or
issue, as the case may be, an exemption from registration of the shares
of Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be
applicable with respect thereto in accordance with regulations duly
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act.

                               ARTICLE IV.
              Granting Expiration and Termination of Options

              The Committee shall, by a vote of a majority thereof,
have the exclusive power to grant Options to purchase shares of Stock
to Eligible Employees.  Such Options may be granted at any time and
from time to time to such Eligible Employees, for such number of shares
as the Committee in its sole discretion deems advisable, but in no
event more than one-half (1/2) of the shares available under the Plan
from time to time to any single "Eligible Employee", presently a limit
of 250,000 but increased to 500,000 if the increase in total number of
shares available to 1,000,000 is approved by the shareholders on
October 5, 1994.  In all cases the option price per share shall be the
fair market value of the Stock on the date on which the Option is
granted (but not less than $1.00), and such Option shall be
exercisable, subject to the provisions of Article V hereof, within the
option period, at the end of which period it shall expire and become
void to the extent that it then remains unexercised.  The option period
within which each Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable shall
commence on such date as the Committee shall determine and shall end on
December 31, 1996, as to Options granted prior to June 1, 1992; shall
end on December 31, 1998, as to Options granted after June 1, 1992 and
prior to May 31, 1994; and shall end not later than January 15th
following the sixth fiscal year after the grant, in no event later than
January 15, 2011, as to options granted after June 1, 1994.
              Subject to the provisions of Article V hereof, if the
Optionee to whom an Option was originally granted shall cease to be
employed by the Company for any reason other than death he may, within
the three months next succeeding such cessation of employment (unless
such Option shall sooner expire), exercise such Option to the extent
that he was entitled to exercise it as of the date of such cessation,
and at the expiration of such three months (unless it shall have sooner
expired) such Option shall terminate and become void to the extent that
it then remains unexercised.  Leaves of absence may be granted to
Optionees who are employees of the Company because of illness or for
such other reasons as the Board of Directors may determine, without
being considered a termination or cessation of employment.
              The Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible Employee or
any Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his right, or the
Company's right, to terminate his employment at any time.
              In the event of the death, while in the employ of the
Company, of an Optionee to whom an option was originally granted, such
Option shall be exercisable (to the extent provided in Article V
hereof) within one year of such date of death (unless it shall sooner
expire), but only (a) by the person or persons to whom such Option
shall pass by such Optionee's will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and (b) if and to the extent that he was entitled to
exercise such Option at the date of his death.  At the end of such one
year period the Option (unless it shall have sooner expired) shall
terminate and become void to the extent that it then remains
unexercised.

                                ARTICLE V.
                           Exercise of Options

              Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall become
exercisable on and after such date as the Committee shall determine, to
the extent of 50% of the shares of Stock covered thereby at any time
after the end of a fiscal year of the Company for which the Company
earned a Return on Capital of 20% or more, if such Option was
outstanding throughout such fiscal year.  Each such Option shall become
exercisable as to the remaining 50% of the shares of Stock covered
thereby at any time after the end of the second consecutive fiscal year
of the Company in each of which two consecutive fiscal years the
Company earned a Return on Capital of 20% or more, if such Option was
outstanding throughout such period of two consecutive years.
              Subject to the preceding paragraph and to the provisions
of the second paragraph of Article III hereof, any Optionee shall have
the right to exercise his Option in whole at  any time or in part from
time to time (provided that each exercise shall be for 1,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Company, as constituted at the date of such
exercise, or any multiple thereof) by submitting written notice thereof
to the Company or its duly authorized agent or representative, on such
form or forms as may be provided by the Company, accompanied by payment
in full, in cash, for the shares to be purchased.

                               ARTICLE VI.
                           Rights of Optionees

              An Optionee shall not have any rights as a stockholder
of the Company by virtue of any Option until the date of issue of the
certificate or certificates for the shares of Stock purchased by him
pursuant to its exercise.
              No Option or any right thereunder of an Optionee to
purchase shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan may be sold, pledged,
assigned or transferred by him otherwise than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, and such Option shall be exercisable, during
his lifetime, only by him.

                               ARTICLE VII.
                Effectiveness, Interpretation, Amendment,
                  Suspension and Termination of the Plan

              The effectiveness of this Plan is subject to the
condition that it shall have been approved by the Shareholders of the
Company within twelve months after its adoption.  Unless such approval
by the Shareholders shall have been obtained, this Plan and any Option
granted pursuant thereto shall be null and void and without effect.
              Determinations of the Committee as to any question which
may arise with respect to the interpretation or administration of any
provisions of the Plan shall be final  unless otherwise determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company.  The Committee may prescribe
administrative rules under the Plan and may in its discretion appoint
an independent agent to act as Option Agent for Options granted
pursuant to the Plan and may empower such Option Agent to handle any or
all administrative matters with regard to Options granted by the
Committee.
              The Company shall have the power at any time to add to,
amend or repeal any of the provisions of the Plan, to suspend the
operation of the entire Plan or of any provision or provisions thereof
for any period or periods or to terminate the Plan in whole or in part,
provided, however, that no such addition, amendment, repeal, suspension
or termination shall in any way affect the rights of the holders of
outstanding Options to purchase shares of Stock in accordance with the
provisions hereof.
              Unless authorized or ratified by the holders of a
majority of the shares of Common Stock of the Company present or
represented at a meeting thereof at which a quorum shall be present, no
amendment to the Plan shall become effective which shall (1) increase
the aggregate number of shares of Stock available under the Plan, (2)
permit the granting of Options to persons other than Eligible
Employees, (3) decrease the minimum option price, or (4) extend the
maximum period within which an Option may be exercisable to any date
later than December 31, 1996, as to Options granted prior to June 1,
1992, or later than December 31, 1998, as to Options granted after June
1, 1992 but prior to May 31, 1994 and shall end not later than January
15th following the sixth fiscal year after the grant, in no event later
than January 15, 2011, as to options granted after June 1, 1994.

                              ARTICLE VIII.
              Stock Not Registered, Disclosure Requirement,
                        Legending of Certificates

              Since all of the Eligible Employees are directors and/or
executive officers of the Company, they are "accredited  investors"
within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(4) of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Shares of Stock covered by
Options under the Plan will be sold in accordance with Rule 506 of such
Regulation D, and such sales shall therefore be deemed to be
transactions not involving any public offering within the meaning of
Section 4(2) of such Act.
              The Committee, prior to the time of each sale of Stock
pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan, shall
provide the purchaser with written disclosure that the shares of Stock
so to be purchased have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are
registered under such Act or unless an exemption from registration is
available.
              Each certificate evidencing shares of Stock sold
pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall bear
the following legend:
     "The securities evidenced by this certificate have not
    been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and,
    therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under such
    Act or unless an exemption from registration is available."
