Aldi adds new market with Lombard, Illinois, store

Discount grocer Aldi is expanding its footprint further with plans to open its newest store in Lombard, Ill., on Jan. 11, the grocer announced.

The new location at 205 W Roosevelt Road is Aldi’s third to open this year, following the Jan. 3 opening of stores in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., and Visalia, Calif. Both of those locations were also new markets for the no-frills grocer. 

The grand opening of the Lombard location will take place at 8:20 a.m. The first 100 customers will receive gift bags, a gift card, and the chance to enter a sweepstakes, the company said.  

The discount grocer opened 14 locations in December and said last year that it aimed to open 120 new stores.
