FLORIDA BUSINESS BRIEFS: Winn-Dixie plans to leave bankruptcy in fall
Winn-Dixie Stores (WNDXQ.PK) will file its reorganization plan later this month and emerge from bankruptcy by late October after the supermarket chain agreed with creditors on how they will be paid, a company attorney said Thursday.Winn-Dixie attorney Stephen Busey told U.S. District Bankruptcy Judge Jerry Funk that a committee of creditors had reached a compromise on payments and the Jacksonville-based company agreed.
The agreement has been a major stumbling block for the chain to emerge from bankruptcy. Winn-Dixie filed for reorganization in February 2005.
The agreement will be placed in its reorganization plan, allowing the company to file it by a June 29 deadline, Busey said.
When it emerges from bankruptcy, Winn-Dixie will be a much smaller company.

WITH MAGNUS moored in Halifax and soon to be listed for sale, our southern cruising adventure is truly complete, and already sliding into memory.

And memories of animals alligators and turtles in the marinas, manatees in the warm outfalls from the power plants, wild horses among the casuarina trees. A swarm of biting flies all over the boat as we crossed Massachusetts Bay, and another in Chesapeake Bay.
