Aldi Opens Several New Stores, One In Philadelphia
By Mike Dougherty
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Discount grocery chain Aldi is cutting the ribbon on four new stores Thursday.
The new store at 31st Street and Girard Avenue is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Residents say being able to walk to pick up groceries should make their lives a little easier.
"I don't drive, but I have to pay people to take me places." says one resident. "This is a good thing."
"I've been here 30 years and I didn't have a market in my area." says another resident.
There's also a nice size parking lot for those who drive.
"We're excited to be here." says Director of Operations Tom Fangras. "We're looking into growing in the Philadelphia a lot more down the road in the next few years."
Three other stores opened in New Jersey, including one in Glassboro.
