Pensacola's second ALDI location on Mobile Highway opens next week

Just weeks after Pensacola got its first ALDI grocery store, a second location is preparing to open its doors.

There will be a 9 a.m. ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony May 5 at the new ALDI, located at 4830 Mobile Highway. To celebrate the new store, ALDI is also offering customers the chance to win a $500 ALDI gift card. At the grand opening event, customers can enter the sweepstakes by scanning a QR code using their mobile device.

Regular store hours will be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

The new location is part of the company's aggressive nationwide growth in recent years including the opening of 150 new stores this year, approximately 20 of which will be in Alabama, Mississippi, the Florida Panhandle and Louisiana.

The first ALDI store in Pensacola opened at 2950 S. Blue Angel Parkway on April 7. The grocer previously opened a store on U.S. Highway 98 in Navarre and is planning another location for U.S. 90 in Pace.
