The 564,000 square-foot facility is equipped to supply goods to stores across Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and the Florida Panhandle.

The facility will support approximately 100 stores, which have a consumer base of more than 8 million.

“At a time when inflation is putting pressure on American wallets, we believe our mission to save people money on the food and products they need is more important than ever,” said Heather Moore, Aldi divisional vice president for the Loxley region.

It is Aldi’s 26th regional headquarters and distribution centre in the US and sixth in the southern United States.

Currently, the discounter operates 30 stores on the Gulf Coast, having opened 20 stores in the area last year alone. It plans to add another 13 outlets to its network this year.

The facility is equipped with rooftop solar panels, LED lighting, an environmentally friendly refrigeration system and metal panel insulation.

The distribution centre will create approximately 200 new jobs in the area with competitive wages and benefits, the company added.
