Grocery Chain ALDI Will Soon Be Opening A Location In Conshohocken

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA — The grocery chain ALDI has announced it will soon open a location in the borough.

The Conshohocken store is scheduled to open with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 14, company executives announced.

The retailer says that the opening of the Conshohocken location is part of an aggressive plan to open around 100 new stores nationwide in 2021.

"We are excited to open our first ALDI location in Conshohocken. What local shoppers will notice is high-quality, fresh foods and low prices in every aisle of the store, every day," ALDI Central Valley Regional Vice President Bob Grammer said in a statement. "We offer a convenient shopping experience with affordable award-winning, sustainable and on-trend goods and look forward to serving Conshohocken customers for many years to come."

ALDI says its business model is "intentionally different," with a focus on offering customers top notch product, but at prices lower than offered by competitors.

"ALDI stores are designed for simplicity and efficiency," reads a company news release. "A typical store is approximately 12,000 square feet of retail space, making ALDI stores much easier to navigate than traditional grocery stores."

The release says that ALDI locations also feature open ceilings and natural lighting, and that they are built using environmentally friendly materials.

The company says it prides itself on being able to beat other grocery stores on price, and that it has held the esteemed title of 'Value Leader' among nationwide supermarkets for the past 10 years.

ALDI runs more than 2,000 retail locations in 37 states and is set to become the third largest U.S. grocery retailer by store count by the end of 2022, according to the company.

According to its website, ALDI currently has a total of seven retail locations in Montgomery County, not including the soon-to-open Conshohocken store. Those other stores are located in Lansdale, Limerick, Blue Bell, Norristown, Souderton, North Wales and King of Prussia.
