By now, you’ve probably heard or read in Bay Life about the opening of ALDI in Niceville. Known for offering food (and more) at great prices, this new grocery store opened June 23. If the company stays on track, it will become the third-largest U.S. retailer in terms of store count by the end of 2022.
ALDI fans across the country rave about the company’s award-winning exclusive brands and weekly lineup of limited-time ALDI Finds. Niceville shoppers can experience the ALDI difference themselves daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. “Our stores are designed to make grocery shopping smarter, faster and easier, and we’ve been voted the price leader for five years running,” said Heather Moore, Division Vice President. “We offer easy access to affordable fresh food and household essentials, as well as a great selection of regional items. Our new Gulf Coast locations will carry favorites such as Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning, Crystal’s Hot Sauce, Blue Plate Mayonnaise, Blue Bell Ice Cream and Luzianne Sweet Tea.”
The Dunnhumby Retailer Preference Index Report has ranked ALDI No. 1 on price for five years running. It’s so confident in its products, such as its fresh, organic produce, that every item is backed by its Twice as Nice Guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with the quality of a product, ALDI will replace the product and refund it.
ALDI sells mostly exclusive brands made by their best partners. Shoppers will find food for every taste and lifestyle (gluten-free, plant-based, dairy alternatives, etc.) along with an unbeatable cheese and wine selection. Shoppers will also discover weekly offerings of limited-time ALDI Finds like candles, delicious seasonal food, home goods and more.
Depositing a quarter to unlock a shopping cart is one way ALDI saves you money. ALDI doesn’t need to hire employees to corral loose carts, and customers get their quarter back when they return the cart.
ALDI asks shoppers to bring reusable bags and recently announced a new commitment to eliminate all plastic shopping bags from stores by the end of 2023 — a sustainable policy that will lead to savings passed on to customers. ALDI also uses green electricity to cover 100 percent of its energy consumption, and has donated more than 33 million pounds of food through its partnership with Feeding America.

ALDI stores are designed for simplicity and efficiency. A typical ALDI store is approximately 12,000 square feet of retail space, making it easier to shop than oversized grocery stores.
ALDI is known for prioritizing its employees and their well-being and offering highly competitive wages and industry-leading benefits. It has been recognized as one of America’s Best Large Employers by Forbes six times in the past seven years. As one of the fastest-growing retailers in the U.S., ALDI is constantly creating new jobs in local communities, coast to coast.
