Shoppers Line Up for Perry Hall ALDI Grand Opening

The Thursday morning opening of the grocery store at Perry Hall Crossing was a hit.

A crowd of approximately 170 gathered outside the doors of Perry Hall’s newest supermarket Thursday morning.

ALDI in Perry Hall opened at 9 a.m. and by 8:45 a.m., store officials said there were 170 people waiting outside in line.

At each of its grand openings, the company reports it attracts a crowd by giving out 100 “golden tickets”—gift certificates of varying values—to the first 100 customers.
