ALDI To Open First Somerset County Location This Fall

WATCHUNG, NJ — ALDI announced it will be opening its first Somerset County grocery store location in Watchung this fall, Bob Grammer, Divisional Vice President told Patch.

"We are excited to confirm we are planning to open a store in Watchung, NJ at 1581 Route 22 store this fall," said Grammer.

The Watchung location was formally home to the Unique Thrift Store. It is in the Greenbrook Commons shopping center with Buffalo Wild Wings.

The discount grocer will offer 23,500 square feet of space, according to Jeffery Realty.

The Watchung ALDI would be Somerset County’s first ALDI. Other nearby ALDI locations include Flemington, Phillipsburg, Piscataway, New Brunswick, and South Plainfield.

No other information is being provided by ALDI about the Watchung location at this time. Check back with Patch later in the year as more details become available.

ALDI is also looking to expand further into Somerset County as it has re-submitted plans this past November for a 19,053-square-foot grocery store in Branchburg on Route 202 and Old York Road. Read More: ALDI, QuickChek Looking To Open In Branchburg
