ALDI to open new store

- By Record staff

TROY, N.Y. » ALDI, will offer Troy residents another option for food (and more), as it opens its newest store at 662 Hoosick Road. More than 1,000 new ALDI stores have opened throughout America over the past decade.

The ALDI business model is intentiona­lly different, and ALDI fans across the country rave about the company’s award-winning exclusive brands and weekly lineup of limited-time ALDI Finds. Local shoppers can experience the ALDI difference themselves when the new Troy store opens on Thursday, April 6 at 8:30 a.m. The store will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Shoppers can enter a sweepstake­s for a chance to win a $500 ALDI gift card during the grand opening weekend from April 6 through April 9.

“Our stores are designed to make grocery shopping smarter, faster and easier, and we’ve been voted the price leader for six years running,” said Aaron Sumida, Tully regional vice president for ALDI. “We’re excited to open our first ALDI store in Troy and introduce local customers to a new, more affordable way of shopping.”

Here are just a few things that set ALDI apart:

Low-price leader: Access to affordable groceries is important, and the company’s commitment to low prices is unwavering. In fact, the dunnhumby Retailer Preference Index Report has ranked ALDI No. 1 on price for six years running.**

Quality: ALDI is so confident in its products, such as its fresh, organic produce delivered daily, that every item is backed by its Twice as Nice Guarantee.*** If for any reason a customer is not 100% satisfied with the quality of a product, ALDI will gladly replace the product AND refund it.

ALDI-exclusive products: ALDI sells mostly exclusive brands made by the best partners. Troy shoppers will find food for every taste and lifestyle (gluten-free, plant-based, dairy alternativ­es, etc.) along with an unbeatable cheese selection. Shoppers will also discover weekly offerings of limited-time ALDI Finds like candles, delicious seasonal food, home goods and more.

Shoppers participat­e in the savings: The savings start before customers enter the store. Depositing a quarter to unlock a shopping cart is one way ALDI saves shoppers money. ALDI doesn’t need to hire employees to corral loose carts, and customers get their quarter back when they return the cart. ALDI also asks shoppers to bring reusable bags and has never offered single-use plastic bags — a sustainabl­e policy that leads to savings passed on to customers.

Online shopping and curbside pickup: Customers want convenient shopping options, which is why nearly all ALDI locations offer grocery delivery, and Curbside Grocery Pickup is expanding rapidly nationwide. **** Visit shop.aldi.us to place an order.

Store size: ALDI stores are designed for simplicity and efficiency, packed with the products shoppers love. A typical ALDI store is approximat­ely 12,000 square feet of retail space, making it easier to shop than oversized grocery stores.

Work with ALDI: ALDI is an award-winning employer that is nationally acclaimed for prioritizi­ng its employees and their well-being. Known for offering highly competitiv­e wages and industry-leading benefits, ALDI has been recognized as one of America’s Best Large Employers by Forbes six times in the past seven years. As one of the fastest-growing retailers in the U.S., ALDI is constantly creating new jobs in local communitie­s, coast to coast.
