Select assortment discount grocer ALDI to open new South Side Chicago store Nov. 19
- Shoppers can save $115 per month
Valparaiso, Ind.
(Nov. 12, 2009) – Beginning Nov. 19, ALDI will offer grocery shoppers a smarter alternative as the select assortment discount grocer opens its newest Chicago store, located at 7627 S. Ashland Ave. Known for its high quality ALDI select brands, ALDI is able to offer these popular alternatives without requiring consumers to buy in bulk.
“As many loyal Chicago shoppers have already discovered, ALDI is the go-to source for high quality fresh produce and grocery items at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional supermarkets,” said Mike Jessen, ALDI Valparaiso division vice president. “People are realizing inexpensive can taste great.”
Customers can expect to find 1,400 of the most frequently purchased items sold under its select brands for prices significantly lower than the competition. The grocer’s cost-saving practices include encouraging customers to bring or purchase recyclable bags and using a shopping cart deposit system where users insert a quarter to retrieve a cart and get the quarter back at the end of their shopping trip.
ALDI also saves consumers money by keeping stores open during prime shopping times – typically from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
A grocery retailer that has grown without merger or acquisition, ALDI has gone from averaging 20 to 30 new stores per year to 100 new ALDI stores across the United States in 2008 and plans to open approximately 80 U.S. stores in 2009.
