The switch is complete—the former Winn-Dixie in Chelsea that closed in March is set to open as an ALDI on October 30.

ALDI’s grand opening in Chelsea

Located at 150 Chelsea Corners, the new ALDI, will be holding several giveaways on the morning of October 30. Here’s what’s up for grabs:

  • The first 100 customers will receive a Golden Ticket worth up to $100.
  • The first 100 customers will receive a free bag of ALDI goodies.
  • A free ALDI shopping tote for all customers (while supplies last).
  • The chance to enter and win a $500 ALDI gift card.

Winn-Dixie’s converted into ALDI

In 2023, popular German multinational family-owned discount supermarket chain ALDI acquired roughly 400 Winn-Dixie and Harvey’s Supermarket locations across the Southeast from Southeastern Grocers, Inc. as part of ALDI’s goal to have 2,400 stores across the country by the end of 2025. 

While some of the ALDI-owned Winn-Dixie stores will continue with the Winn-Dixie name, others will be converted to ALDI.

The two Birmingham-area Winn-Dixie locations that have been converted to ALDI’s are:

Earlier this month, Winn-Dixie also announced they are closing three stores in the Birmingham Metro Area in November. The stores, which are located in Trussville, Fultondale and Jasper, will be converted into Food City grocery stores.
