Baldwin Grocery Chain ALDI To Raise Pay To $23 Per Hour

ALDI has several Baldwin locations and local warehouse

In the past two years ALDI has made big investments in the Baldwin County region. Their new grocery store opened in Foley, a regional distribution center was built in Loxley and they bought the Winn-Dixie grocery stores. Now they are seeking 13,000 new employees for the fall season.

ALDI is growing its team of more than 49,000 employees and raising its national average hourly pay. In a press release the chain stated the new national average starting wages for open ALDI store and warehouse positions will be $18 and $23 per hour, respectively, based on market and position.

ALDI also recently instituted new flexible scheduling and 100% paid parental and caregiver leave in response to employee feedback.

According to ALDI, those who join the company early tend to stick around; the grocery retailer found that 7 out of 10 assistant store managers and over 30% of store managers started as sales associates.

Currently there are three ALDI store locations within Baldwin County; Foley, Daphne and Fairhope.

The company is in the process of converting some Winn-Dixie locations throughout the south to better represent the ALDI brand.
