LONG BEACH, Miss. (WLOX) – ALDI opened its first Long Beach location on Thursday, with customers lining up as early as 3 a.m.<\/p>\n

The first 100 shoppers received gift cards and other freebies. <\/p>\n

\"ALDIALDI is located at 109 North Cleveland Avenue.(WLOX)<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was much more than I had expected,\u201d said Long Beach Mayor Tim Pierce. \u201cI was leaving the gym this morning at 6 o\u2019clock, and I said, \u2018Let me just ride by ALDI and see if there\u2019s anybody here.\u2019 They were wrapped around the front, halfway down the side.\u201d<\/p>\n

ALDI is located at the old Winn-Dixie storefront at 109 North Cleveland Avenue.<\/p>\n

Mayor Pierce said ALDI will help bring in sales tax money that the city was losing to surrounding municipalities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great. It\u2019s fantastic. These are sales taxes that we\u2019re keeping in Long Beach.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the third ALDI location to open on the Coast since October 30. The company recently opened its second location in Ocean Springs<\/a>, as well as one in Gulfport.<\/a><\/p>\n

Overall, ALDI has six locations in South Mississippi.<\/p>\n

In 2023, ALDI announced a buyout of Winn-Dixie\u2019s parent company, Southeastern Grocers<\/a>, affecting Winn-Dixie locations across Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.<\/p>\n
