Former South Tampa Winn-Dixie to reopen as Aldi
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A former South Tampa Winn-Dixie is reopening as a new Aldi store.
The store, located at 2100 West Swann Avenue, is opening on Thursday. It will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
To celebrate the store's opening, Aldi will welcome the first 100 customers with a gift bag filled with a sampling of ALDI products and a gift card as part of the ALDI Golden Ticket giveaway program.

'At our new Tampa ALDI store, shoppers will find that every decision we make, from our product selection to store layout, is to provide our customers with the best products at the lowest possible prices of any national grocer,' said Matt Thon, regional vice president for ALDI.

I took my usual grocery list to Walmart. I missed Aldi's lower prices but still found surprising wins.
I spend $40 shopping at Aldi for two on a biweekly basis, and I took that grocery list to Walmart. I bought similar items at Walmart and compared prices between the chains based on cost per ounce. Both chains had some great deals, but Aldi felt like the cheaper option for me overall. For years, I've been a fiercely loyal Aldi shopper. Our household of two usually spends about $40 there every two weeks and generally walk away feeling like we've scored a great deal. From produce to pantry staples, the chain's budget-friendly selection keeps our grocery bills in check without making us sacrifice quality. Still, I've always been curious if we're missing out on deals by not buying groceries at other retailers. So, I took my usual Aldi shopping list to Walmart, another chain that's famous for its low prices. I did my best to purchase the lowest cost, most comparable items at Walmart. Since product sizes varied, I compared the price per ounce of what I purchased at each store. Here's how my go-to Aldi grocery list fared at Walmart. It was nice to see a true tie right out of the gate. For the spring mix, Walmart edged out Aldi with both quantity and cost efficiency. Marketside spring mix from Walmart: $0.36 an ounce Simply Nature mixed greens from Aldi: $0.58 an ounce I use mixed greens constantly, whether in salads, sandwiches, or smoothies. I ended up with a bigger container at Walmart for a better price per ounce. Since I knew we'd use up these greens before they went bad, I also preferred buying the larger package. Ground turkey was cheaper at Aldi. Jennie-O ground turkey from Walmart: $0.25 an ounce Kirkwood ground turkey from Aldi: $0.17 an ounce Ground turkey is one of my favorite proteins to cook with, especially for tacos or rice bowls. I usually go for 85% lean. Both stores provided me with a great quality product, but Aldi won me over with its lower price. I prefer the taste of Aldi's frozen veggie mix, but Walmart's won me over with its price. Great Value deluxe stir-fry mix from Walmart: $0.12 an ounce Season's Choice broccoli stir-fry mix from Aldi: $0.19 an ounce I love having frozen vegetables on hand for last-minute stir-fries or side dishes. Both bags were solid, though Walmart's option was a bit cheaper by the ounce. Although I like the taste of Aldi's veggie mix better, Walmart gets the win on price. I'll keep getting black beans at Aldi. Goya black beans from Walmart: $0.09 an ounce Dakota's Pride black beans from Aldi: $0.05 an ounce Black beans are my go-to when I need to stretch a meal or add protein to a dish. I like mixing them with ground turkey or adding them to rice dishes. Aldi wins this round, no question. Savings add up fast when it comes to pantry staples. The shredded cheese at Walmart was only slightly more cost-effective. Great Value shredded cheese from Walmart: $0.25 an ounce Happy Farms shredded cheese from Aldi: $0.27 an ounce We go through a lot of shredded cheddar each week, whether we're using it on taco night or in scrambled eggs. Prices were close, but Walmart just barely took this round. I couldn't tell a huge difference in taste or quality, so I'd buy this from whichever store I'm already at. Both chains sell Café Bustelo — but the price per ounce was far better at Aldi. Café Bustelo espresso from Walmart: $0.53 an ounce Café Bustelo espresso from Aldi: $0.39 an ounce I was excited to find a big tub of Café Bustelo at Walmart, especially since buying larger quantities of something can often save you money in the long run. However, I was surprised when I compared the cost per ounce. Aldi is my clear winner here: Same brand, same taste, way better value. Walmart had cheaper whole milk. The savings were minimal on old-fashioned oats. Aldi's prices on mandarins was hard to beat. Aldi's Moser Roth chocolate will continue to be a staple for me. Bettergoods 90% dark-chocolate bar from Walmart: $0.71 an ounce Moser Roth 90% cacao bar from Aldi: $0.45 an ounce I can't leave the store without a treat. For me, it's usually dark chocolate. The prices weren't too far off — but Aldi's Moser Roth bars felt like an even better value after I tasted the bar from Bettergoods. It wasn't bad, but it didn't beat my go-to chocolate. I was impressed by the variety I found at Walmart, but I missed the simplicity and savings of Aldi. Looking at these numbers, my money still seems to go further at my usual grocer: Aldi. I found some pleasant surprises at Walmart, especially when it came to the prices of the mixed greens and milk. However, Aldi's lower prices across the board on staples like beans and coffee impressed me more. Walmart also deserves kudos for its wide variety of brands and options. Aldi mostly only sells products from its own label, which some shoppers may not like. Personally, though, I think Aldi's simplicity and limited options can make grocery shopping a quicker task.

Aldi Just Made a Major Announcement That Will Make Summer Shopping More Affordable for Millions
For many, stocking up on groceries can cause sticker shock. But Aldi is hoping to alleviate some of that stress this summer. The grocery chain recently announced that it's cutting prices on nearly 25 percent of its selection, including meats, organic produce, and pantry staples, across its 2,400-plus stores through Labor Day. Prices on more than 400 products have been reduced, ranging from BBQ must-haves like organic grass-fed ground beef and homestyle baked beans to summertime favorites like vanilla ice cream and juice pouches. Even pet food products are included. Most of the discounted items are part of Aldi's private label brand, with around six percent being name-brand products. Aldi reports that the price drop will save customers an estimated $100 million based on an internal analysis of promotional pricing and projected sales volumes. According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, most U.S. adults (62 percent) say food costs are extremely or very important to them when deciding what to buy, and two-thirds say they are very concerned about food and consumer goods prices. "Value isn't a trend at Aldi. It's been in our DNA since we opened our first store nearly 50 years ago," Scott Patton, Aldi's chief commercial officer, said in a statement. "This summer, we're going further to deliver more of what sets us apart, great products at the lowest possible prices. With price drops on the season's most-loved products in every aisle, we want to do what we can to help shoppers enjoy more of summer." Aldi also has plans to add more than 225 stores in the U.S. this year, with 75 set to open this summer.

New Aldi location approved in Millcreek Township
Plans are in place for a new grocery store coming to Millcreek Township. According to Millcreek Township Planning and Development Director Matthew Waldinger, the Aldi will be located on West Ridge Road just east of the Walmart property by the traffic light. Hagen History Center receives $100K grant to restore Watson-Curtze Mansion windows He said Aldi reached out to the township about a year ago with a preliminary investigation and submitted plans back in May. That land development plan was approved by the board of supervisors. Presque Isle Partnership announces 2025 UPMC Sunset Music Series dates, musical lineup 'I think you already have some attractive businesses around there, obviously Walmart attracts a lot of traffic, you have got Wegmans nearby, and I think people like to group their shopping trips together. So yeah, I think that is a good spot for a store such as Aldi,' said Waldinger. Waldinger said construction may start late this year and be open sometime in 2026. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
