Not sure if this is good or bad. The Aldis we have in town are small and rarely have the ’special’ items in their larger or flagship stores. Aldi let 43 employees go on a conversion down south. I enjoy WD and Publix for their BOGOs. If Aldis does not do BOGOs…lots of customers are gonna say bye. I’m sure Publix is licking its chops waiting to see what happens. If it incorporates Aldis brand and pricing stays same or less including BOGOs….then great. If it doesn’t keep pricing, selection, BOGOs….then goodbye. Aldi has to know that WD has a following here, and to drastically change that is gonna hurt their bottom.line. I’ll be fair and wait and see. BTW…I’ve talked to a couple people in other stores (Mobile Hwy & 98 stores)…and they said theulybare jot being affected….so we’ll see.

Donna calling people negative Nellie’s is whyis one of several reasons PPL dont like the switch from WD to Aldi’s. Aldi’s forced masks & many locations didn’t take cash. So losing freedoms to a WEF grocer is bot something to be excited about. We have enough Aldi’s in Pensacola without adding two more. My family shopped Winn Dixie from 1960’s-early 2000 until they passed, I used Winn Dixie since kid up till they got bought out. It truly saddens me to see them go. I remember they had best butchers, meats & produce. They would custom cut you a steak just by asking.

Not happy. Pcola already has 2 and the other in Navarre. We need one in Gulf Breeze. We were in town on Friday and made a detour to get to the Mobile Hwy location before heading home. Love the Deutsche Küche selections. Very good. I hope to hear one opening in The Breeze.

Been going to this Winn Dixie for over 14 yeats we actually knew alot of the workers there and they would take time just to talk as we checked out. Aldi discriminated people during covid made people stand outside in the cold because only a few people could go in at a time. Here at Winn Dixie they never did that never attack you for not wearing a face mask they let us keep our freedom. Over seas they are strictly no cash I’m not for that cash is freedom.

I LOVE Aldi…i drive to the one on Mobile Highway weekly to do our shopping. The quality of the food is excellent at very affordable prices. You negative Nellies don’t know what you’re missing. I love putting my extra money in my pocket.

Try talking to the employee ’s. Ask vacation time, bonus,jobs offered, parties at headquarters in Jax( on LinkedIn) , . These people are part of our community. Thats a story I want to read.

All these people complaining about getting a new option for grocery shopping and saying they won’t shop there for some of the dumbest reasons. SMH Don’t like Aldi? Fine. Don’t shop there, but don’t try to ruin it for those of us who know that it’s a great store, treats their employees well (I’ve worked for them for 15 years), has a great selection at fantastic prices (and let’s face it…with our current economy, that’s mandatory and completely excludes Winn Dixie), and MOST OF US are ecstatic to see this! Take the whining elsewhere. It isn’t becoming.

Can’t believe all the whiners! Winn Dixie has been outrageous for quite a few years since goodings bought them,but not the same quality as goodings..
If you bothered to “read” all WD will not be changed over to Aldis, only a few.
Forget Publix, they are so over priced reg folks cannot afford them.
Aldis produce beats out WD 10 times over!
Just go in and wander around see whatnthey have. Don’t just poop on it because you’re mad. LOL

I like ALDIs. Their name brands are excellent for a much better price than Publics. Good quality produce. Meat is good too. Not the big selection on all items but you can mostly find what you need. Try it a couple of times before you decide to hate it. You will save a ton of money!
