PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Customers accustomed to shopping at two Winn-Dixie locations in Palm Beach County will soon see some changes.
Winn-Dixie stores near Boynton Beach and Westlake are being converted into Aldi stores, according to the discount grocery store chain.
The Winn-Dixie store located at 8855 Boynton Beach Blvd. closed recently to convert it to an Aldi.

The conversion to Aldi is also occurring at Winn-Dixies at two other South Florida locations:
- 941 Southwest 24th Street, Fort Lauderdale
- 20417 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura
The chain said the Westlake store, located at 5060 Seminole Pratt Whitney Road, will be closed for renovations starting in January along with the two other South Florida stores. The stores will reopen "over the next several months."
"Customers can expect a quick, easy shopping experience with great products at the lowest possible prices. Our smaller stores are stocked with only the items customers need so they can get in and out, and our award-winning exclusive brands help shoppers save up to 40% on their groceries without sacrificing quality," the spokesperson said in a statement.
Aldi said workers at these locations will have the opportunity to be the first to apply to newly converted stores.

Aldi lowering prices on 250 items, but is there a catch?
"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," according to the spokesperson.
The German-owned discount grocer announced in 2023 that they were purchasing more than 400 Winn-Dixie locations across Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
WPTV reported last year that the purchase of Winn-Dixie stores was met with concern from some communities, like Okeechobee and Belle Glade since there are fewer shopping options in these cities.
It's unclear how many of the 400 Winn-Dixies will be converted into Aldi stores.
Aldi previously announced they were expanding their footprint in the U.S., including "rapid" growth in the Southeast.
