Aldi has introduced a new corner store format in Sydney, Australia. In addition to grocery and fresh produce offerings, the store offers a range of ready to go meals and convenience-based products, as well as take away coffee and artisanal bakery items.
“The new Corner Store layout is aligned to the needs of a local, largely walk-in customer base, with simple navigation, self-checkouts, fresh offerings, quality products, and everyday low prices with a nostalgic neighborhood feel,” said Huw Longman, director of the Aldi corner store project, in a statement.
In addition, each corner store location will be designed through strategic local art partnerships. The debut location features the work of Sydney artist Mulga, who was comissioend to decorate both the interior and façade of the store.
“We wanted to create a solution that is both a design signature and memorably Aldi but also something truly different. We have ensured that each Aldi Corner Store will be recognizable and distinct, both in the design parameters and in this first store by commissioning a unique artwork,” said Mark Landini, creative director at Landini Associates, which helped design and build the store.
