German grocery retailer Aldi plans to establish a division headquarters and 500,000-square-foot distribution center in Dinwiddie County.
Virginia competed against North Carolina for the $57 million project, which is expected to create 145 jobs.
Aldi operates more than 1,500 US stores in 34 states. It plans to have 2,000 stores by the end of 2018.
The company currently has 32 stores in Virginia and expects to have 60 within the next five years.
