Wow, no Winn-Dixie? That's really surprising since Alexandria, LA is after all a city of the Deep South...my grandmother lived the last three or four decades of her life in that city. I personally myself never got a chance to explore it in depth, though I visited there several times. Very surprising indeed since the neighboring state of Mississippi is not surprisingly loaded with TONS of them. I'm sure they have to be numerous in Louisiana at least if they aren't in Alexandria.
I've lived in Shreveport most of my life and never has been a Winn-Dixie here. Some of the past chains which are either no longer in business or moved out are A&P, Safeway, Weingartens, and Piggly Wiggly. Oh yes, Food Lion was here for a while. I liked them, but the meat thing that happened caused their demise.
A lot of the chains in the South found east of the Mississippi River are not west of it. That is the South's great dividing line for many retail businesses, actually more in the past than now.

I like Stop and Shop the best in metro NY. The other supermarkets around here are nearly double the price. I obsess over saving lol.
