DELAWARE - Aldi is making good on its plan for more U.S. states, cracking into the Delaware market with two premier stores. Tomorrow, Nov. 17th, the German based retailer will cut ribbons on both stores, simultaneously, at 8:45 a.m. local time.
"We are pleased to bring our first stores to Delaware to help customers get high-quality products at everyday low prices," said Bob Grammer, Aldi Vice President, in a statement, according to news source Delaware Online. This latest move makes for the retailer’s 35th state in the nation.
This is the latest in a string moves for growth Aldi has made over the last year, who just announced several new stores in New Jersey.
Previously, the chain debuted in California, and expanded its store count in Texas as it looks to layout its strategy for 500 new stores total by 2018.
The normally discount-style retailer also launched a new format in Virginia that revealed a bigger focus on fresh.
According to the report, the retailer is bringing a taste of its German roots with cart use for 25 cents and the encouragement of bringing your own bags. The formats will remain smaller, both less than 18,000-square-feet in size.
It all starts tomorrow at 8:45 a.m., as Aldi offers with golden tickets containing a gift card to the store with various amounts up to $100 for each of its first 100 shoppers in the state.
What is the next move as the retailers continues to seek a stronger fold both here and across the pond? AndNowUKnow will be sure to keep you in the loop.
