Aldi has announced the acquisition of 400 Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s stores from Southeastern Grocers. The purchase will accelerate the Aldi expansion program that was intended to add 120 new stores in 2023 for a total of 2,400 locations during 2024.
Following a brush with bankruptcy, in 2018, Southeastern Grocers embarked on upgrades of Winn-Dixie stores and attained $2.0 billion in sales during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Quoted in Supermarket News, Jason Hart, CEO of Aldi stated, “The time was right to build on our growth momentum and help residents in the Southeast save on their grocery bills. The transaction supports our long-term growth strategy across the United States.”
