Aldi is at it again! Little by little, stores are being revamped to reflect the new lay out that you will eventually find in all Aldi stores.

The 2 stores reopening (note that the Chicago store is at a new address) are:
Chicago, IL – Dec. 6, 2012
When: Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012
· 8:45 a.m.– Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

This is a great way to get to know Aldi if you are not already familiar. Product samples are being offered at these openings so this might be a great way to taste something that you have been considering buying but were on the fence about. Let's face it though, at their prices you might be able to take that risk with no worries :) They will also be doing on site sweepstakes for the openings. It is always fun to have a chance to win something :)

Grocer Keeps it Simple –
Shoppers Save Big
Chicago, Ill.
– Nov. 19, 2012 – ALDI will once again offer
grocery shoppers a smarter alternative as the select assortment discount grocer
reopens two Chicagoland stores. The store currently located at 4645 W. Diversey
Avenue will reopen at a new address, 4627 W. Diversey Avenue, on Thursday, Dec.
6, 2012. The Schiller Park location at 9310 Irving Park Road

high-quality grocery items at unbeatable prices. The existing Chicago and
Schiller Park locations will officially close at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 5,
2012, and Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2012, respectively.
“We are pleased to
showcase the new look of ALDI with these updated stores in Chicago and Schiller
Park to continue to help customers stretch their dollars,” said Scott Patton, Batavia division vice president for ALDI. “As important as price is,
there’s only one way to attract and keep shoppers: You have to have quality
products. When people try our ALDI exclusive brands, they are excited by the
savings and impressed by the quality.”
With higher
ceilings, improved natural lighting and environmentally friendly building
materials – such as recycled materials and energy-saving refrigeration and
light bulbs – the stores will offer customers a simple and easy-to-navigate
shopping experience.
To celebrate the
opening of the new Chicago and Schiller Park stores, the public is invited to
attend the ribbon-cutting ceremonies, sample ALDI exclusive brands, tour the
stores and enter on-site sweepstakes for a chance to win
ALDI gift certificates. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Chicago
location begins at 8:45 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6, and the ribbon-cutting
ceremony for the new Schiller Park location begins at 8:45 a.m. on Thursday,
Dec. 13.
ALDI challenges
customers to switch from national brands to its exclusive brands and save up to
50 percent* on more than 1,400 items the store carries. To ensure its exclusive
brands meet or exceed the national brands on taste and quality, ALDI conducts
rigorous testing on all products. ALDI stands behind this quality with a Double
Guarantee: If for any reason a customer is not 100 percent satisfied with a food
product, ALDI will gladly replace the product and refund the customer’s money.
A model of
efficiency, ALDI eliminates overhead costs by offering smart practices, such as
a cart rental system through which shoppers insert a quarter to release a cart
and receive the quarter back upon the cart’s return. Other cost-saving
practices include a smaller store footprint, open carton displays and
encouragement of customers to bring their own shopping bags.
ALDI also saves
shoppers money by keeping stores open during prime shopping times. The newest
locations will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 9
a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. ALDI accepts cash, debit and EBT cards.
