Aldi Regional Vice President Matt Thon said Feb. 5 that four more former Southeastern Grocers stores are reopening after conversion into the discount banner.
The next to open will be the former Winn-Dixie at 2220 County Road 210 W., Suite 20, in Saint Johns.
Aldi scheduled a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8:45 a.m. Feb. 26, followed by the store opening. Hours then will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The store plans giveaways and prizes.
Three more Jacksonville stores are expected to open by the summer, Thon said.
Those are two former Winn-Dixie stores at 1531 Monument Road and 12777 Atlantic Blvd. in East Arlington and a former Harveys Supermarket Downtown at 777 N. Market St.
Jacksonville-based Southeastern Grocers sold 400 Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi to German retailer Aldi in March 2024.
In February 2025, a consortium of private investors led by Southeastern CEO Anthony Hucker acquired Southeastern Grocers from Aldi in a deal that included about 170 Winn-Dixie stores in those five states, along with the chain’s liquor store business.
SEG has renamed itself The Winn-Dixie Co.
Aldi has acquired at least 14 Northeast Florida stores from Southeastern Grocers for conversion. Aldi had 13 stores before the purchase.
Aldi now has at least 20 stores open in Northeast Florida. With the next four and another identified for conversion in West Jacksonville, it is catching up to Winn-Dixie.
Winn-Dixie.com shows at least 28 stores in Northeast Florida, including three liquor stores and one supermarket that has been identified for conversion into Aldi.
