ALDI To Open In Falls Church

FALLS CHURCH, VA—Falls Church residents will soon have another option for grocery shopping. An ALDI will open in Falls Church, the city announced. It will open in 2018.

The grocery store will be located at Tower Square Shopping Center (155 Hillwood Avenue). The city will also see a Target open in 2018.

ALDI offers premium groceries at discounted prices. The grocery chain cuts down on costs with practices such as a cart rental system and charges for customers not bringing their own shopping bags.

“This validates the City as a highly sought-after place to do business,” said Rick Goff, director of economic development, in a statement. “Our office has put in a lot of time behind-the-scenes with marketing, recruitment, and relationship cultivation. The persistence is paying off.”

In Northern Virginia, ALDI stores are located in Alexandria, Annandale, Manassas, Fairfax, Potomac Falls, Springfield and Woodbridge. German-based ALDI is planning to open 2,500 stores in the U.S. by 2022. It currently has more than 1,600 stores in 36 states.
