New Aldi Supermarket Opening Near Tyrone Square Mall: Report

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — A new Aldi store is coming to west St. Petersburg, according to reports.

The supermarket will open at 6765 22nd Ave. N. in a shopping center adjacent to Tyrone Square Mall, St. Pete Rising reported.

The 28,605-square-foot space was previously home to the Alachua County-based Hitchcock’s Green Market and, before that, Lucky’s Supermarket.

Hitchcock’s closed last summer, while Lucky’s shut its doors in 2020, Patch previously reported.

A site plan from Seritage Growth Properties, which owns the property, shows Aldi in the parcel between Dick’s Sporting Goods and PetSmart.

Other tenants in the plaza include Five Below, Portillo’s, Noire Nail Bar, Verizon, America’s Best, TD Bank and SubZero Nitrogen Ice Cream.

Chili’s, Longhorn Steakhouse and the recently opened Torchy’s Tacos are located nearby on separate parcels.

Aldi currently has two St. Petersburg locations — one at 1551 34th Street N., the other at 2900 34th Street S. The company’s website doesn’t mention the new Tyrone-area location.

Patch has reached out to both Aldi and Seritage Growth Properties for additional information. This article will be updated when they respond.

According to a real estate flyer from Aldi, which strives to offer shoppers low prices on grocery items, the brand's stores are usually about 17,000 square feet. About 10,000 square feet of that space is designated for the sales floor.

This would give the new Tyrone-area store a significantly larger footprint than the average Aldi supermarket.
