Remodeled Aldi Opens In Pelham August 8

PELHAM, AL - The new look Aldi grocery store at 200 Big Mountain Road in Pelham will be unveiled August 6, according to officials with the grocery store.

The Pelham store is one of more than 1,300 ALDI stores that will be remodeled and expanded across the U.S. by 2020. The project is an initiative the company announced earlier this year that involves an aggressive $1.6 billion investment in its stores.

The new ALDI store look delivers on customer feedback for a modern and convenient shopping
experience with a focus on fresh items, including more robust produce, dairy and bakery sections. In the
last few years, ALDI has added new product lines that have quickly become customer
favorites, including the liveGfree brand of gluten-free foods, SimplyNature products featuring many
organic items and a full line of premium baby items under the Little Journey brand.

Remodeled stores will also feature a modern design, open ceilings, natural lighting and environmentally friendly building materials – such as recycled materials, energy-saving refrigeration and LED lighting.

“With this significant investment in our stores, what we’re really doing is continuing to invest in ALDI
customers,” said Jason Hart, CEO, ALDI. “We’re continuing to expand our fresh offerings, which means we
need to provide more space for produce, meat, and bakery items. We’ve also made a number of
improvements to our products - such as removing added MSG, certified synthetic colors and partially
hydrogenated oils from all of our ALDI exclusive brand foods. But one thing that hasn’t changed is that our
customers still save money on the groceries they buy the most.”
