Early plans call for an Aldi store \u2013 known for discount prices and shopping convenience \u2013\u00a0 to be located at East 97th Avenue and Grant Street in Thornton,\u00a0 as part of the discount chain\u2019s expansion across Colorado.<\/p>\n

Plans are also underway for an Aldi store in Denver\u2019s Central Park neighborhood and near Denver International Airport, according to the Denver Post.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the company announced plans to open more than 50 stores throughout the Denver and Colorado Springs area, the Post states. The expansion will be supported by a new distribution center in Aurora, expected to open in 2028 and create hundreds of jobs, the Post said.<\/p>\n

Pre-application materials submitted by Michigan-based Atwell LLC on behalf of ALDI Real Estate Inc. propose a 20,436-square-foot grocery store at the East 97th Avenue and Grant Street location, the Post states.<\/p>\n

Plans call for the store to be on a 2.85-acre site, spanning the parcel and include a parking lot next to a Bank of America.<\/p>\n

Aldi operates thousands of stores in more than 10 countries and plans to expand to 3,200 U.S. locations by the end of 2028, according to the retailer.<\/p>\n

Aldi<\/a> stores are a popular global family of low-cost, no-frills discount supermarkets founded in Germany. They keep prices low by offering mostly private-label brands and using efficient store layouts, according to Reader\u2019s Digest.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers rave about the chain\u2019s low-cost organic options, award-winning wine that sells for less than the cost of a single pricey cocktail and exclusive name-brand products,\u201d according to Reader\u2019s Digest. \u201cMore important, though, Aldi\u2019s low prices and attention to quality are a testament to the notion that a thoughtful, balanced diet doesn\u2019t have to come at a high cost. A healthy, happy lifestyle is something all families should have the opportunity to enjoy, regardless of the paycheck(s) they\u2019re working with “, the Digest states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Aldi Supermarket in Harrisburg, PA.
