ALDI To Reopen Smyrna Store Thursday

SMYRNA, Ga. — ALDI welcomes shoppers back to its renovated Smyrna store when it reopens on Thursday, May 30. The store, located at 2589 Spring Road, is part of a $1.9 billion initiative to remodel and expand more than 1,300 ALDI stores nationwide by the end of 2020. Locally, ALDI is investing more than $49.5 million to update 42 stores in Atlanta and the surrounding metropolitan area by the end of 2021.

To celebrate the Smyrna store reopening, ALDI will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, May 30, at 8:45 a.m., followed by its popular Golden Ticket giveaway offering gift cards to the first 100 customers.

The new Smyrna ALDI store layout provides an improved in-store experience and features additional refrigeration space to accommodate even more fresh, healthy and convenient products. Compared to last year, 20 percent of the ALDI product selection is new. The ALDI product expansion is the next phase of the company’s aggressive, national growth and remodel plan. As part of the product expansion, ALDI is increasing its fresh food selection by 40 percent with many organic, convenient and easy-to-prepare options. ALDI stores also feature open ceilings, natural lighting and environmentally-friendly building materials. The store will be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Sunday.

"Our remodeled store layout makes grocery shopping even more efficient. Customers can easily navigate the ALDI aisles and find real savings on every trip," said Shaun O’Keefe, Jefferson division vice president for ALDI. “We’re eager to reveal the new look of ALDI to Smyrna, where we already have passionate, loyal customers.”

ALDI stores are designed to save shoppers both time and money. ALDI carries a streamlined selection of exclusive products and national brands, which removes guesswork from shopping and enables customers to find exactly what they need. ALDI also offers specialty items that make the hottest food trends affordable and accessible, and has earned more than 300 product awards and recognitions for its exclusive brands since 2017.

This innovative approach has made ALDI one of the fastest-growing retailers in the U.S. As part of the company’s aggressive expansion plans, ALDI is adding 25,000 new jobs in stores, warehouses and offices nationwide by the end of 2022. ALDI was named to the Forbes list of “America’s Best Large Employers” four years in a row and is proud to offer staff market-leading salaries and benefits.
