Aldi announced its intentions to purchase Southeastern Grocers stores, including Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s Supermarkets, in August. An Aldi spokesperson emphasized that Aldi and Southeastern Grocers remain separate companies and will continue to operate independently until the transaction closes. Aldi is set to acquire approximately 400 stores, primarily in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi, some of which could be converted to the Aldi shopping format. As the companies near a final deal, expected to be completed in the first half of 2024, shoppers have many questions about how this will impact their grocery experiences. Here’s what we know:
Is Winn-Dixie going out of business?
No, but the company will be purchased from current owner Southeastern Grocers.
Who bought Winn-Dixie?
Winn-Dixie in 2012 became a property of Southeastern Grocers, which plans to sell the company to German-based Aldi in early 2024.
