Aldi Plans To Open Waukesha Store Next To Kohl's

WAUKESHA, WI — As Kohl's department store plans to downsize, it's making the way for a new grocery store in the Waukesha area.

Aldi is seeking a final site plan and architectural review approval for its plans to occupy the space created by the Kohl's downsizing storefront at 2200 W. St. Paul Ave. Waukesha Plan Commission members plan to vote on the plan and review during their Wednesday, July 11 meeting at City Hall.

The new tenant, an Aldi grocery store, will have an area of roughly 26,000 square feet and is planning to make changes to the front entrance and loading dock to accommodate the store.

According to Waukesha Plan Commission documents, the front entrance will include a large storefront facade and a new, covered cart corrall area.

The loading dock area will be built in the rear of the building. It will include a new enclosed unloading space with a driveway angled into it. The walls will be concrete masonry, colored to match the rest of the building.
