Some of the 800 new locations will be store conversions from its now-complete acquisition of Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets, with a “significant number” of those locations — largely located in the Southeast — ditching their respective names and being remodeled into an Aldi.
Approximately 50 stores will be converted later this year, with a majority of those reopening under the Aldi name in 2025.
However, the Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets names won’t completely disappear: Aldi said that a “meaningful amount” of locations will retain that branding.
Aldi’s newest plan brings its store count to nearly 3,000 US locations, a notable expansion but still trailing against its rivals.
If their merger is approved, Kroger and Albertson’s will have about 4,500 locations and Walmart, the nation’s largest grocer, has nearly 5,000.
