The acquisition of Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s Supermarket chains and organic growth of close to 100 stores in 2024 will require Aldi to hire as many as 13,000 store and warehouse workers in advance of the holiday season.  The Company has increased hourly pay to $23 for warehouse workers and $18 for store associates.  Employees working more than 30 hours per week are eligible for health insurance, paid parental and caregiver leave and flexible scheduling.  The company has a policy of promoting from within with 70 percent of Assistant Store Managers and 30 percent of Managers advancing from the ranks of associates.

Aldi is making progress in converting Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s Supermarkets with an intensive program in Florida to compete with Publix Supermarkets.  As of mid-February, Aldi operated 2,357 stores in the U.S. with an increase to 2,400 in August.
