Aldi opens first-ever store in Miami

Aldi opened its first store in Miami, Fla.Thursday, according to reporting by the Miami Herald.

The discount retailer has six other stores in Miami-Dade county, but this will be the first one in business within the city limits of the city.

Aldi is in the midst of opening 120 stores in the U.S. this year, and this is not the first in Florida. A location in Lakeland kickstarted operations back in March and a second store opened in Crestview a month ago.

The first 100 customers at the Miami store will receive a gift bag, and shoppers also have the opportunity to enter a sweepstakes for a $500 Aldi gift card. Eco bags will also be handed out over the next several days.
