India Opal Bluoni has just moved to Naomi, Florida with her father who is the preacher at the Open Arms Church of Naomi. India finds a dog in the Winn-Dixie supermarket that is being destructive. One man shouts, "Send that dog to the pound!" Opal can not let that happen so, she shouts, "That's my dog!" And thinks of a name quick, the name of the supermarket-Winn-Dixie.
All the people she meets that summer-she meet because of Winn-Dixie-and that's why I think the book is called that. She meet Otis who works at the pet store, and Opal starts to work there too, to save up money for a red dog collar for Winn-Dixie. Outside the pet store she meets Sweetie pie Thomas. Sweetie Pie really likes India's dog and in time India gets invited to her party.
India also meet Miss Franny Block at the Library who is always telling her stories. At the library she meets Amanda Wilkinson who she doesn't like at first but grows to like a lot.
India also meets the Dewbarry boys-Dunlap and Stevie, who are twins. The Twins tell her that their nieghbor Gloria Dump is a witch, but when Winn-Dixie goes runnung into yard India had to go get him. Winn-Dixie is found licking peanut butter off her hand and she and Gloria become friends too.
In the end all the people India made friends with over the summer have a party at Gloria's house and everyone becomes friends.
