Introduction

Three new Aldi stores in Florida will replace a trio of soon-to-be shuttered Winn-Dixie locations.

For perspective, per ScrapeHero.com's most recently updated company store location count: There are 2,381 ALDI stores in the United States as of May 16, 2024. The state and territory with the most number of ALDI locations in the US is Florida, with 217 stores, which is about 9% of all ALDI stores in the US.

Let us explore.

Aldi, 2024

According to a report this week from GulfLive.com, with the new additions Aldi continues its national expansion.

As excerpted from the report: Since announcing the acquisition of 400 Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket locations from Southeastern Grocers in March — along with a five-year expansion plan — an Aldi spokesperson said the company has made significant progress in transitioning stores to the Aldi banner — including three planned (so far) in Florida.

The three Florida Winn-Dixie locations announced this week for conversion to Aldi markets are the following:

• Winn-Dixie located at 6902 S. Florida Ave. in Lakeland (now confirmed)
• Winn-Dixie located at 23200 Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach
• Winn-Dixie located at 3157 West 23rd St. in Panama City

No specific dates of closure or conversion are listed in the report.

Conclusion

The current Aldi market expansion is a developing story. In the event of pertinent updates to this matter, inclusive of official announcements of milestone dates, I will share them here on NewsBreak.
