Aldi announced Feb. 4 it will open its newest store Feb. 18 at 3650 Philips Highway in South Jacksonville.
The grocery store will operate 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
“Opening new stores allows us to provide even more shoppers convenient access to fresh, high-quality groceries at unbeatable prices,” said Matt Thon, Haines City division vice president, in a news release.
The company said the location is part of the company’s national expansion plan to become the third-largest U.S. grocery retailer by store count by the end of 2022. Aldi said its stores are designed for simplicity and efficiency. A typical store is about 12,000 square feet of retail space, “making ALDI stores much easier to navigate than traditional grocery stores,” said the release. Other grocers are up to twice or more that size.
Aldi stores feature open ceilings, natural lighting and are built with environmentally friendly materials.
The company stocks stores with food and household products, including produce delivered fresh daily.
“Known as private-label pioneers, the ALDI business model is intentionally designed to offer customers high-quality products at unbeatable prices, every day,” it said.
Aldi said it maintains low prices by stocking more than 90% exclusive brands.
Aldi has more than 2,000 stores across 37 states.
Including the Philips Highway location, Aldi has about a dozen stores in Northeast Florida.
It said it is investing more than $5 billion in new and remodeled stores across the country.
