Aldi is buying 397 supermarkets across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Some will stay as Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores while others will be converted to Aldis.
The German discount retailer said on Wednesday that it was buying all of Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket's locations from parent company Southeastern Grocers for an undisclosed price.
Some of the stores will be converted to Aldis, while others will continue to operate as Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores, Aldi CEO Jason Hart said in a statement.
Aldi said that its purchase of Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket was expected to close in the first half of 2024.
