The Winn-Dixie at 3275 SW 22nd St. closed permanently on September 20, 2026. The 57,000-square-foot site is set to reopen as an Aldi in 2027.
Why it matters
This closure follows a 2024 agreement between Aldi and the Winn-Dixie chain to convert dozens of existing stores. The move is part of a broader strategy to rebrand these locations under the Aldi name.
The former Winn-Dixie property spans 57,000 square feet, significantly larger than the typical 12,000 to 22,000 square feet seen at other South Florida Aldi locations.
The players
Winn-Dixie
This regional grocery store chain operates multiple supermarkets across the Southern United States.
Aldi
This global discount supermarket chain is expanding its presence in South Florida through site acquisitions.
The details
The property, which originally opened in 1990, will undergo extensive renovations to match the Aldi store format. Along with the main store, the adjacent Winn-Dixie Beer, Wine & Spirits shop has also ceased operations.
Timeline
1990: The Coral Way Winn-Dixie originally opened.
August 2, 2026: The Bird Ludlam Shopping Center location closed.
September 20, 2026: The Coral Way store officially closed.
2027: The site is scheduled to reopen as an Aldi.
Market Landscape
This closure follows the 2024 Aldi and Winn-Dixie conversion deal, which continues to reshape the local grocery landscape. The transition highlights ongoing industry consolidation as major retailers compete for prime real estate.
Shoppers in the Coral Way area will need to find an alternative grocery store until the new Aldi opens in 2027. Nearby residents should watch for future site progress updates as renovations proceed on the property.
The takeaway
The transformation of this long-standing location reflects a major shift in the local supermarket sector. Residents should expect temporary disruption to their shopping routines while the property undergoes renovations.
What happens next
Conversion projects for additional locations in Liberty City, Pinewood, and Overtown are scheduled to proceed throughout 2027.
