Aldi Opens Brooklyn Location

Specialty Food Association

Aldi has opened its third store in Brooklyn, New York, reports Progressive Grocer. The location, close to Brooklyn College, is part of the discount grocer's U.S. expansion.

“The Brooklyn store is in a mixed-use development and has a modern design that features locally inspired wall decals, including the famous Brooklyn Bridge,” said Chris Daniels, South Windsor regional VP for Aldi. “A typical store, including our new Brooklyn location, is approximately 12,000 square feet of retail space, making Aldi stores much easier to navigate than traditional grocery stores. The consistent size of Aldi stores across the country is a part of our formula for success. Every Aldi has a similar, easy-to-navigate layout, so you’ll always feel like you’re shopping at your local store.”

This year, the retailer said it also plans to further expand its curbside grocery pickup service to 500 more stores, bringing the total number of curbside locations to more than 1,200. Full Story
