Exhibit 99.2

[Winn-Dixie Supplier Letter]

January [13], 2012

Dear [INSERT SUPPLIER NAME],

Since the announcement of our intent to merge, Winn-Dixie and BI-LO have been focused on making some decisions regarding the roles and responsibilities of the combined company’s senior leadership.

[Earlier today / Recently] it was announced that Randall Onstead, chairman of BI-LO, will be appointed the CEO and president of the combined company. This appointment will become effective upon completion of the merger, which we expect to close within 60 to 120 days of the announcement on December 19. Until then, Peter Lynch will continue to serve as CEO of Winn-Dixie. Shortly thereafter, he will resign from Winn-Dixie after helping Randall with the transition for some period of time.

Working in the retail food industry for almost 30 years, Randall understands the grocery business, and more importantly, deeply appreciates Winn-Dixie’s strengths and the opportunities ahead of us to build on our successes and realize our goals.

In a recent company memo, Peter wrote, “Randall shares my passion for this business, our guests and creating a winning team with you. I am confident that Winn-Dixie will be in good hands.” Peter also expressed to us that he is very supportive of this merger and wholeheartedly believes that it is the next major accomplishment we will achieve together.

As important as this new development is for our business, this will have no impact on the day-to-day operations of Winn-Dixie or our relationships with you. The Center Store and Fresh teams will continue to partner with you.

We believe that this transaction will only serve to strengthen our partnership with our suppliers. As part of a stronger and more efficient company, we will have a larger distribution platform that will allow us to offer our guests an even wider variety of products with the great service they have come to expect.

As always, if you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact [your usual Winn-Dixie representative / me personally at XXX-XXX-XXXX].

Sincerely,

[NAME
