Aldi close to closing deal at one Tallahassee location as hiring begins for another
Aldi is setting its sights on a new grocery store at the University Village on Tallahassee s west side. The German discount grocery is close to closing a deal to build a 20,000 square-foot new store in a detached parcel, a former Capital City Bank branch, within the 20-acre shopping center. Located on a .77-acre strip, it will be sandwiched between Aveda Institute and Ocala Road. They are very excited about the location, and they’re very excited about Tallahassee,” said Steve Leoni, co-founder of Student Housing Partners, the shopping center s property manager. Leoni expects the deal to close within a month. He also said the grocer may be in the market to open four or five stores in Leon County.

New way of shopping requires speedy deliveries â there is an app for that Ina Opperman
Picture: iStock Checkers launched its on-demand, one-hour grocery delivery service, Sixty60, about a year ago and soon Woolworths will pilot Woolies Dash to give customers the opportunity to try the service and give feedback.
Consumers who are used to shopping from home and having their goods delivered during lockdown, as well as those who still find the shops too much of a scary place during the second wave of the pandemic, can now have their groceries delivered the same day.
Woolworths is taking on Checkersâ Sixty60 same-day delivery service with its new delivery service, Woolies Dash.

Woolworths has announced the trial launch of its new same-day delivery service – Woolies Dash.
The service will give customers access to fast delivery of Woolworths quality groceries, including a wide range of fresh produce, pantry staples and household essentials directly off the shelves, the retailer said.
“We have seen a marked growth of our online sales in the past 12 months. Woolies Dash complements our already expansive online service, from our scheduled delivery service with broad regional footprint, to our drive-through click and collect service, and now our same-day service with Woolies Dash,” said Liz Hillock, Woolworths head of Online and Mobile.
PnP was a forerunner in expanding into online grocery retail in South Africa years ago. However, Checkers Sixty60 has disrupted the local market over the past year with its âdelivery within 60 minutesâ grocery service, stealing a march on competitors including PnP, Woolworths and Massmartâs Game and Makro chains.
In fact, Woolworths also plans to take on its rivals in the booming on-demand food and grocery delivery space, with the group teasing consumers last month in a tweet about the launch of its âWoolies Dashâ service.
Woolworths has been mum about the new service since posting the tweet, but on Wednesday (23 December) confirmed that it would now be piloting Woolies Dash in select locations. Woolworths has a strong online shopping offering, but has historically struggled with same-day deliveries.
