If you’re a fan of Aldi but live closer to a Winn-Dixie or Harvey’s Supermarket, then you’re in luck. The discount grocery retailer purchased 400 Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s stores in August 2023, and expects to convert 50 of those stores into Aldi locations by the end of 2024, with most of them reopened and running by the end of 2025.
While Aldi did purchase many stores, it does not have plans to convert all of them into Aldi locations. Given that Winn-Dixie stores are almost double the size of an average Aldi, it wouldn’t make sense to convert those locations, or at least the company is saying that for now.
As of right now, Aldi has shut down one Winn-Dixie location in Lakeland, Florida, and is hoping to reopen the store as an Aldi within six months. The grocery retailer has also started conversions or is in the permit process with the following eight other locations in Florida, according to Islander News.
-
Bradenton Winn-Dixie, 5805 Manatee Avenue W.
-
Deltona Winn-Dixie,, 2880 Howland Blvd.
-
Fleming Island Winn-Dixie, 1545 County Road 220
-
Jacksonville Harveys Supermarket, 2261 Edgewood Ave. W.
-
Lakeland Winn-Dixie, 6902 S. Florida Ave.
-
Panama City Winn-Dixie, 3157 West 23rd St.
-
Panama City Beach Winn-Dixie, 23200 Front Beach Road
-
Tampa Winn-Dixie, 2100 W. Swann Ave.
Aldi is hard at work expanding its locations across the United States. The company announced the expansion of 800 stores by the end of 2028, including brand-new openings and store conversions. Along with this locations across the Southeast, Aldi also hopes to open 330 stores across the Northeast and Midwest regions as well. Locations will also be added in areas of Southern California, Phoenix, and Las Vegas.
