Aldi is wrapping up its year of rapid expansion in Florida with a rush of 13 more locations opening across the state in December, according to the company's Coming Soon page. Ten of them open on the same day.

On Thursday, Dec. 11, the no-frills grocery chain will open the doors in locations in Bushnell, Leesburg, North Fort Myers, Port Charlotte, Port Saint John, Saint Johns, Sarasota, Seminole, Tampa and Venice.

Locations in Homosassa, Lakeland and another in Port Charlotte will open the week before, on Dec. 4.

Grand openings for each location will start with an 8:45 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony, gift bags and gift cards for the first 100 customers and the chance to win a sweepstakes for a $500 Aldi gift card at each location.

The discount chain famous for low prices and store-brand goods (and also a complete lack of coupons, in-store delis, bakeries, pharmacies, loyalty programs, baggers or Muzak) has been working to open 225 new stores nationwide in 2025.

It's the most Aldi has opened in a year, with plans for 800 locations by the end of 2028. About 40 Florida Aldis have already opened in 2025.

In just the last few weeks, Aldi locations have sprung up in Englewood, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Lehigh Acres, Naples, New Port Richey, Orlando, Palm Harbor and St. Petersburg. Many of them are converted Winn-Dixies from Aldi's brief acquisition of that company in 2024-2025.
