It is ALDI’s 26th regional headquarters and distribution center and the sixth in the southern United States. Loxley will support the grocer’s rapid expansion in the region. Presently, the grocer operates 30 stores in the Gulf Coast, having opened 20 stores in the area last year alone. It plans to add another 13 stores in 2023.
