Aldi has confirmed that four of its South Florida Winn-Dixie stores will be closing for renovations by January and will reopen later as Aldi stores. They are among 50 Winn-Dixies and Harveys Supermarket locations that Aldi promised to convert after finalizing its purchase of Winn-Dixie parent Southeastern Grocers in March. The company also announced plans to open 800 new stores nationwide over five years. In August, Aldi confirmed the first stores undergoing the conversion would be in Panama City, Deltona, Pensacola and Lakeland.
