Aldi To Open Its First South Windsor Retail Location

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — For more than a dozen years, South Windsor has been home to the Northeast regional headquarters and distribution center of Aldi, an international discount supermarket chain. Beginning next Thursday, March 11, the first South Windsor retail outlet for the grocery will open in a new building at 200 Gateway Blvd., directly across Buckland Rd. from the entrance to the Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk.
