BATON ROUGE — Supermarket chain ALDI announced Thursday that it has completed its acquisition of Winn-Dixie's parent company Southeastern Grocers. 

The acquisition is part of ALDI's broader plan to add 800 stores nationwide by the end of 2028. According to ALDI, a decent number of Southeastern Grocers' locations — including Winn-Dixies — will continue to operate under their current branding.

The Baton Rouge area currently has three ALDI locations — one on O'Neal lane, one on North Rieger Road, and one in Central on Grand Settlement Boulevard.

The Advocate reported that the company had bought land for another store near the Cortana Amazon fulfillment center.
