Aldi Expanding Pittsburgh Presence

PITTSBURGH, PA — Aldi's new store in a bustling Pittsburgh location is set to open on Thursday.

The grocery store chain is replacing a Staples on Banksville Road near a Kuhn's grocery store.

"At our new Pittsburgh Aldi store, shoppers will find that every decision we make, from our product selection to store layout, is to provide our customers with the best products at the lowest possible prices of any national grocer,” Kevin Ely, Aldi regional vice president, said in a statement.

“Our customers can save up to 36 percent on an average household’s shopping list. As shoppers look for better ways to stretch their dollar, Aldi is providing Pittsburgh with easier access to quality groceries at affordable prices.”

A ribbon cutting will occur Thursday at 8:45 a.m. The ceremony will take place about 30 minutes before the store opens.

The first 100 customers on November 20 will receive a Golden Ticket that could be worth up to $100. An Aldi employee will hand out laminated numbered cards.

Customers also should look for signs inside the store to scan the code and enter details for a chance to win a $500 Aldi gift card. The promotion is good Nov. 20-23.
