Earlier this year, Anniston Mayor Jack Draper announced that Aldi, the common brand of two German family-owned supermarket chains, would be opening a new location in Anniston, Alabama. Located North of the Lowe’s on McClellan Boulevard, the upcoming Aldi is an example of the chain’s coast-to-coast expansion across the United States. In fact, the supermarket chain now operates more than 2,000 stores in 37 states and is on track to become the third-largest grocery retailer in the U.S. by the end of 2022.
Aldi currently operates one more store in Calhoun County, located at 75 Holmes Drive in Oxford, Alabama.
