     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 q uarters shown.  These condensed financial
     statements should be read in  conjunction with the fiscal 1996 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 fourteen
     states and the Bahama Islands.

(B)  Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market,
     approximately 91% of which are valued under the LIFO method.

(C)  Results for the quarter reflect a pretax LIFO inventory charge of $6.0
     million in 1997 and $4.0 million in 1996.  The cumulative current year
     charge is $12.0 million as compared with $10.0 million in 1996. If the
     FIFO method had been used, current quarter net earnings would
     have been $51.4 million or $0.34 per share as compared with net
     earnings of $74.9 million or $0.49 per share in the previous year.  The
     cumulative year net earnings would have been $102.1 million, or $0.68
     per share as compared with $124.4 million, or $0.82 per share.

(D)  The Company has an authorized $300 million Commercial Paper Program and
     short-term lines of credit totaling $340 million. On January 8, 1997,
     there was $260.0 million in commercial paper and $10.5 million in bank
     lines of credit outstanding as compared to $110.0 million in
     commercial paper and no amounts from bank lines of credit outstanding
     on June 26, 1996.

(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 1997 is 36% as compared to 35% in 1996.

(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. In addition, the
     Company is a party to various proceedings arising under federal, state
     or local regulations protecting the environment.  Management is of  the
     opinion that any liability which might result from any such claim,
     lawsuit or proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on the
     Company's consolidated earnings or financial position.

 (G) Reclassification: Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
     conform with the presentation adopted in 1996.

            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 $4.1 billion, an $84.6 million increase,
or 2.1% over the comparable quarter ended January 10, 1996. Year-to-date,
sales were $7.0 billion, a $135.4 million increase over the comparable
period last year. Sales increases resulted primarily from an increase in
average store sales.  Average store sales increased 1.9% for the quarter and
1.8% year-to-date.  Identical store sales decreased  0.6 % for the quarter
and  0.8% year-to-date.

The Company opened 45 new stores, averaging 50,300 square feet, enlarged or
remodeled 50 stores, and closed 44 older stores, averaging 29,500 square
feet. As of January 8, 1997, retail space totaled 47.0 million square feet.
The Company has 1,179 stores in operation compared with 1,180 stores last
year.  Of the 1,179 stores, 859, or 72.9%,  are larger than 35,000 square
feet.  Currently, 63 new stores are under construction.  The Company plans
to open 90 new stores and will enlarge or remodel 80 existing stores in the
current fiscal year.

Gross profit increased $43.0 million for the quarter and $106.2 million,
year-to-date.  As a percent to sales, gross profit for the current quarter
was 24.4%, compared to 23.8% in the previous year.  Year-to-date, gross
profit as a percent to sales was 24.6%  in the current year, compared to
23.5% in the previous year.  The increase in gross profit margins is a
result of an improved inventory mix in our larger stores.

Operating and administrative expenses increased $80.7 million for the
current quarter and $143.2 million year-to-date.  As a percent to sales,
operating and administrative expenses for the current quarter were 23.3%,
compared to 21.7% last year. Year-to-date, operating and administrative
expenses, as a percent to sales were 23.2% for the current year and 21.6%
for the previous year.  Our increase in operating and administrative expense
is due to a higher payroll percentage in our larger stores, occupancy cost
and depreciation expense.

Cash discounts and other income totaled $35.8 million in the second quarter,
compared to $34.4 million for the same quarter last year.  Year-to-date,
cash discounts and other income totaled $62.2 million compared to $62.4
million last year.  Investment income for the current quarter totaled $0.1
million compared to $1.0 million last year. Year-to-date, investment income
totaled $0.3 million for the current year, compared to $1.1 million in the
previous year.  The decrease in investment income is a result of a decrease
in funds available for investment.

Results of Operations, continued

Interest expense totaled $7.2 million for the current quarter compared to
$6.6 million for the comparable period last year. Year-to-date, interest
expense totaled $11.7 million for the current year compared to $14.8 million
in the previous year.  The decrease in interest expense for the year is
related to the reduction in the obligations under capital leases.

Earnings before income taxes were $74.5 million for the current quarter
compared to $111.5 million in the previous year. Year-to-date, earnings
before income taxes were $148.0 million in the current year and $182.1
million in the previous year. The decrease in pretax earnings is
primarily a result of the increase in operating expenses as previously
mentioned.  Income taxes have been accrued at an effective rate of 36% for
the current year and 35% for the previous year.  This rate is expected to
approximate the effective rate for the full 1997 fiscal year.

Net earnings amounted to $47.7 million, or $0.32 per share, for the current
quarter compared to $72.5 million, or $0.48 per share for the comparable
period last year. Year-to-date, net earnings amounted to $94.7 million, or
$0.63 per share, compared to $118.3 million, or $0.78 per share,
for the previous year. The LIFO charge reduced net earnings by $3.7 million,
or $0.02 per share, for the current quarter compared to $2.4 million, or
$0.01 per share, in the previous year.  Year-to-date, the LIFO charge
reduced net earnings by $7.3 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to $6.1
million, or $0.04 per share, in the previous year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's financial condition remains sound and strong.  Cash and cash
equivalents amounted to $28.7 million at January 8, 1997, compared to $61.2
million at January 10, 1996. The reduction in cash and cash equivalents is a
reduction of cash equivalents which consist of highly liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less.  These funds were used for
payment of additional taxes and the repurchase of common stock.  Net cash
provided by operating activities amounted to $204.2 million for the 28 weeks
ended January 8, 1997 compared to $220.3 million for the comparable period
last year.  The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is
primary a result of a decrease in net earnings as previously explained.
Capital expenditures totaled $229.9 million compared to $190.3 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 investment in Company retail
and support facilities, including operating leases, is estimated to be
$750 million in 1997. The Company has no material construction or purchase
commitments outstanding as of January 8, 1997.

Working capital  amounted  to $277.0 million at  January 8, 1997 compared to
$388.7 million  at June 26, 1996.  The decrease in working capital reflects
an increase in short-term borrowings to fund our facilities improvement
program and the repurchase of the Company's common stock.



                                  Page 6

Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued

The Company has an authorized $300  million Commercial Paper Program.  In
addition, the Company has $340 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 8,
1997, $260.0 million of commercial paper was outstanding as compared to
$110.0 million on June 26, 1996.  The average interest rate on the
commercial paper outstanding on January 8, 1997 was 5.4%, as compared to
5.5% on June 26, 1996.  Short-term borrowings against our bank lines of
credit were $10.5 million as of January 8, 1997 as compared to none on June
26, 1996.

Excluding capital leases, the Company had no outstanding long-term debt as
of either January 8,1997 or June 26, 1996.

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

The Company is a party to various proceedings arising under federal, state
or local regulations protecting the environment.  Management is of  the
opinion that any liability which might result from any such proceeding will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated earnings or
financial position.

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
improved gross profit margins.
