Aldi expanding quickly in Florida
The German-born discount chain famous for low prices, popular branded products, and a lack of grocery store standards, such as a deli, a bakery, a pharmacy, or Muzak opened more than 60 new and converted stores in Florida in 2025. So far this year, Aldi has opened stores in Cape Coral, Deerfield Beach, Fort Walton Beach, Port Orange, Pensacola, Fort Myers, Neptune Beach, Tampa, Vero Beach, Boca Raton, Fernandina Beach, Micco, and two in Jacksonville.
The chain plans to open more than 180 new stores nationwide in 2026 on its way to reaching 3,200 stores in the U.S. by the end of 2028. The company also plans to expand its distribution center in Haines City and build a new one in Baldwin, projected for a 2027 opening.
The company said it plans to continue converting the nearly 80 Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s Supermarket locations it retained after briefly acquiring the company in 2024-2025, with nearly 20 more in progress around the state, according to local media and filings.
