Discount grocer ALDI announced on its website that it will open its newest Northport location on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026, in the former location of the Winn-Dixie off of Highway 43.

This will mark the third Northport store for the German grocer, with the other locations at 5801 McFarland Boulevard and 10 McFarland Boulevard.

ALDI says it will offer shoppers an early look at the store and host a ribbon-cutting ceremony, along with a chance to win a “Golden Ticket” worth up to $100.

The new store will also host a Sneak Peek shopping day on Jan. 7, 2026, allowing customers to fully browse and purchase products ahead of its official grand opening.

The grand-opening ribbon cutting will be held at 9 a.m. on Jan. 8, 2026, about 30 minutes before the store opens for regular business. Customers will be able to enter and shop immediately after the ceremony.

To celebrate opening day, the first 200 customers will receive a Golden Ticket, a laminated, numbered card that could be worth up to $100.

No purchase is necessary to receive a ticket and winners will be chosen at random under ALDI’s official rules.
