Actually no bagging at Aldi. Put items in the wagon and hand receipt to customer and quickly onto the next customer.

Then where which corner will CVS occupy?

The only thing I will miss at WD is the wing bar. Great for when unexpected company drops by, grab a bucket fill it up and feed multiple people quickly

I believe the one in Lake Sumter will become an Aldi exclusive.

Aldi stores are much more compact. Their model works why would they change?

What gives you reason to believe that? Sure, it might happen and we can all speculate, but official information from Aldi is the deal goes through in 2024 and they have made no decisions yet.

Even if, by chance, it does become an Aldi, how does that make it less convenient for just running in to get an item or two?

You will get only hearsay and opinions from our forum. better to check published news and even that gets tainted.

Statements that some pharmacy worker heard ......

This thing seems to be an evolving deal.

Check the news and then wait for reality.

CVS and Walgreens also to get piece of Winn-Dixie: The pharmacies

Well no we didn't hear it from the Aldi CEO but post #32 on word from pharmacy implies LSL is being dismantled.

Aldi doesn't carry many brand name items and seem to have their own brand.

I know I walked in and right out of the one on 441. Just not my cup of tea but for each their own.

If Aldi doesn't carry what you want and if the LSL Winn-Dixie becomes an Aldi then sure, that makes sense that it would be a loss for you.

I suspect there is a lack of information that is leading to misinformation. Perhaps the LSL store will close, it could happen but I'm not convinced a pharmacist would be privy to that information. The pharmacist may know that Winn-Dixie is closing its pharmacies and that may be what was meant by "dismantling."

We'll have to wait and see. And yes, it would be unfortunate if the customers of the LSL store could no long find what they wanted to buy after the transition.
