After closing for a month to remodel, Aldi shoppers can return to a new shopping experience at its Romeoville location at Airport and Weber roads.
To celebrate the reopening, the grocer will be hosting an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8:25 a.m. July 28, followed by a Golden Ticket giveaway, eco-friendly bag distribution, a Produce for a Year sweepstakes and product sampling. The first 100 shoppers will receive a golden ticket, each containing Aldi gift cards of various amounts.
In June, the grocery retailer began construction on an addition to its store located at 398 S. Weber Road. The store first opened at this location in 2009. The 2,060 square-foot expansion to the front of the store, will allow them to offer more refrigerated space inside and to reconfigure the checkout area.
According to store representatives, the new Aldi store look delivers on its customers’ desire for a modern and convenient shopping experience with a focus on fresh items, including more robust produce, dairy and bakery sections, and more room for customer’s’ favorite products.
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.
Aldi intends to remodel more than 130 stores in Chicago and the surrounding metropolitan area by 2020.
The grocer states that based upon a price comparison of comparable products sold at leading national retail grocery stores, Aldi customers save up to 50 percent of their grocery bills. It’s simple and streamlined approach, encouraging recyclable bags and cart returns, help keep costs down.
