ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – St. Johns County residents who were sad to see the departure of a beloved Winn-Dixie store on Country Road 210 will have a new place to shop, starting Thursday.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new ALDI will take place at 8:45 a.m. at the newly converted store at 2220-200 County Road 210.

Known for low prices and self-bagging, the ALDI will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
To celebrate Thursday’s ribbon-cutting, the first 200 customers will receive 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 Jacksonville ALDI store, customers will see why so many already choose ALDI for their weekly grocery shopping,” said Matt Thon, regional vice president for ALDI. “As shoppers look to stretch their dollar further, we’re excited to open this new location and bring more people a high-quality grocery selection they want and need at the lowest possible price. ”
Some members of the neighborhood expressed concern when the Winn-Dixie on CR 210 closed in August, but the conversion to a new ALDI store was completed in six months.
ALDI purchased 400 stores from Jacksonville-based Southeastern Grocers, Winn-Dixie’s parent company, in 2023.
The latest opening brings ALDI one step closer to its goal of having 3,200 stores by the end of 2028.
In the new store, shoppers will find:
- ALDI-exclusive products: Nearly 90% of items on ALDI shelves are exclusive brands, and 1-in-3 of those products are award-winning, according to the grocery chain. Shoppers will find organic meats, fresh produce, sustainable seafood and standout cheese and wine selections.
- A curated grocery selection: By offering a carefully selected range of products, ALDI sells exactly what shoppers need at the best prices in the market.
- ALDI Finds: Each week, shoppers will discover on-trend and seasonal items with the assortment of limited-time ALDI Finds. The rotating selection ranges from unique foods and lifestyle goods to home decor and pet accessories.
Nearly all ALDI locations nationwide provide customers with convenient shopping options, including grocery delivery and Curbside Grocery Pickup. To learn more, visit shop.aldi.us.
