2 NEW Aldi stores to open - and 2 more to temporarily CLOSE. Is your local is affected?

Get all the details here - by Amy Sinclair
  • 15 Apr 2019

There is mixed news for Aussie ALDI fans today with the long-awaited confirmation that TWO new supermarkets will open - while two others will temporarily close. 

The retail giant has confirmed that new ALDI stores would open in the South Australian suburb of Norwood as well as the Victorian town of Gisborne. 

2 NEW Aldi stores to open - and 2 more to temporarily CLOSE. Is your local is affected?

The Gisborne opening is a long time coming for locals of the bustling town. Since it was first rumoured that Aldi would open back in 2016, building has been delayed several times causing a lot of confusion. But today it was confirmed that the store would open in 2020, with building to start soon. 

It’s a similar story for Norwood residents in South Australia. Since it was announced in September last year that development plans had been lodged for a new ALDI as part of a seven-storey redevelopment proposal, fans of the budget supermarket have been anxiously waiting for updates. 

It’s since been confirmed that the supermarket will go ahead on the old Caroma bathroom factory site, creating much-needed jobs for locals - not to mention lots of budget shopping!

But in other news, it’s been revealed that ALDI in the NSW town of Yass will close for 11 days for renovations. The store announced that it will close its doors from Sunday, April 28 to Thursday, May 9, to make way for new shelving, larger produce displays and energy efficient chillers. 

Local mum Janine Hardy said the closure meant she’d have to stock up on produce, given that she usually shops at the store three times a week. 

"The other local supermarkets are more expensive," Janine told the Yass Tribune. "I think it's good that Aldi is doing renovations; it just means I need to be more organised."

It’s a similar story for ALDI in the Victorian city of Ararat. The store will close for two weeks from April 28 to May 11 to make way for the same refurbishments. 

But while local ALDI fans will no doubt be disappointed, a spokeswoman for the supermarket said it was an ‘exciting’ time. 

"Low prices are a big deal for ALDI. In fact, we refuse to be beaten on price. This is our fundamental point of difference and one we will never give away," she told The Stawell Times-News.

"We're excited to be undertaking these upgrades and welcome the community to visit our new store from Saturday 11th of May, and share their feedback about the store experience."
