Trusted grocer plans to add 150 new stores, on track to become third-largest grocery retailer
Mobile, Alabama, Feb. 21, 2022 — Grocery shopping in the Mobile and Pensacola areas is getting smarter, faster and easier. As part of a Gulf Coast expansion, ALDI, one of the country’s most trusted grocers,* is opening its first Mobile, Alabama, store on March 3, and its first Navarre, Florida, store on March 10. ALDI plans to open approximately 20 new stores this year across Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, Louisiana and Mississippi.
To celebrate the store openings, ALDI will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8:30 a.m. March 3 in Mobile, and 8:30 a.m. March 10 in Navarre. The first 100 customers at each store will receive a gift bag featuring a sampling of ALDI Fan Favorites products, and a gift card as part of the ALDI Golden Ticket gift card giveaway program. Shoppers can also enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win a $500 ALDI gift card.
The new stores, at 5021 Rangeline Crossing Drive in Mobile, and 8816 Navarre Parkway in Navarre, will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Both stores offer the convenience of grocery delivery and, starting March 17 in Mobile and March 24 in Navarre, curbside pickup.
“We’re thrilled to continue our Gulf Coast expansion and open our first stores in the Mobile-Pensacola area. ALDI is intentionally different, and we can’t wait for area shoppers to discover ALDI for the first time,” said Heather Moore, Division Vice President for ALDI. “We offer easy access to affordable fresh food and household essentials, as well as a great selection of regional items. Our new Gulf Coast locations will carry local favorites such as Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning, Crystal’s Hot Sauce, Blue Plate Mayonnaise, Blue Bell Ice Cream and Luzianne Sweet Tea.”
With its aggressive nationwide growth in recent years, ALDI is on track to open 150 new stores and become the third-largest U.S. grocery retailer by store count by the end of this year. Additionally, a new ALDI distribution center for the Gulf Coast region, in Loxley, Alabama, is under construction and expected to open later this year. Over time, the distribution center will serve approximately 100 stores throughout the region.
Here are just a few things that make the ALDI experience unique:
