The German retailer Aldi announced this week it plans to acquire Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket.
that could present a new challenge for Aldi — if shoppers revert to old habits like shopping at neighborhood grocery stores that may have higher prices, or opt for a favorite name-brand cereal or more variety. It's also had to race to keep up with competitors' online options, prompting Aldi to expand curbside pickup to more stores.
Why was Aldi interested in acquiring Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket? Why acquire rather than build your own hundreds of stores in similar locations? Doing this [expanding] on our own organically, that has been our plan, and that has been our trajectory over a number of years, and in the Southeast as well. .... This acquisition really gives us the opportunity to accelerate all of those plans.What should shoppers expect to see at those stores on the other side of the acquisition?
For those stores we do not convert, our intention is that a meaningful amount of those will continue to operate as Winn-Dixie and [Harveys] Supermarket stores.
