Aldi will occupy roughly 22,000 square feet, or about half of the former 44,000-square-foot Winn-Dixie. The remaining 22,000 square feet has been reserved for a future tenant. Colliers, the brokerage marketing the remaining space, said it is in discussions with several prospective tenants but has not yet signed a lease.
The 64,000-square-foot Carter Plaza shopping center is also home to Bronze Lady Home Furnishings, Colette’s Fashions, Smoke Bros, and a CVS Pharmacy outparcel building. Dollar Tree closed earlier this year.
The Madeira Beach opening is part of Aldi’s broader conversion of former Winn-Dixie locations following its March 2024 acquisition of Southeastern Grocers.
Aldi said it has converted and opened nearly 90 former Southeastern Grocers stores across Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi, with plans to convert more than 200 locations by the end of 2027.
With the Madeira Beach opening, Aldi now has 17 stores in Pinellas County, including five in St. Petersburg and two in Pinellas Park.
