When Will The New Nine Mile Aldi Store Open?
January 17, 2025
The process of converting one former Escambia County Winn Dixie grocery store into an Aldi is continuing, but Aldi remains quiet on an opening date.
In March 2024, the Germany-based Aldi completed the purchase of all Winn Dixie stores.
The former Winn-Dixie store located at 312 East Nine Mile Road closed for renovations in late September. A new Aldi sign is now up on the building, but Aldi is not confirming a planned opening date.
“We can confirm the Winn-Dixie store located at 312 East Nine Mile Road, Pensacola, FL closed for renovations in September,” an Aldi spokesperson told NorthEscambia.com this week. “The store will reopen to the community as an ALDI over the next several months.”
In Escambia County, Aldi operates standalone stores on South Blue Angel Parkway and Mobile Highway. There is also a store in Pace.
“Associates at this location (Nine Mile Road) have the opportunity to be the first to apply to newly converted ALDI stores,” Aldi said. ” In addition, ALDI is committed to doing its best to minimize the impact and provide support and opportunities to associates at converting stores, including the option to remain with Winn-Dixie and transfer to a neighboring store.”
Meanwhile, Aldi is not saying which, if any, other Winn Dixie stores in Escambia County will be converted to Aldi stores in the future.
“As we work through this transition period, conversion plans are still being finalized, and we will share more information as it becomes available,” the Aldi spokesperson said.

Aldi is great and I’m happy we’re getting one nearby, but they are very different than Winn Dixie and I’m glad we still have the one on Hwy 29. I’d really hate to lose it.
I absolutely love Aldi. I live in Cantonment so I have been driving to the pace Aldi once a month to do my large shopping haul. So glad there will be one way closer on 9 mile rd. Personally I wish they would have converted the Cantonment Winn-Dixie but I realize every one has a different preference and need when it comes to grocery shopping.
Richard, you are absolutely right! Don’t mess with the 29 Winn Dixie. The “idea” of Aldi sounds great, but the newness will wear off when customers realize they have very little selection. Good luck finding a decent cut of beef at Aldi. Same with the produce department. Aldi may have its place, but it will never be a substitute for Winn Dixie. Oh, and don’t forget your quarter, you’ll feel like a fool trying to carry all those groceries up to the cashier.
I disagree with Kathy, leave our Winn Dixie alone. We like it just the way it is.
We’ve been to the Aldi on Mobile Hwy. Not impressed.
Yay!!! Can’t wait!!! Please, please Aldi, convert the Winn Dixie store on 29 in cantonment too! We’re desperate up here in the north end!
