The selection of groceries grew and the competition among grocery retailers just got a little greater after ALDI expanded at 6 Stonebridge Blvd., in Towne Centre North.

ALDI, which opened January 13, 2013 in Jackson, added more retail space when it incorporated 25 feet of its backroom.

ALDI added 82 feet of cooler space for meat and produce.

New shelving throughout the store was added during the complete renovation.

ALDI has 79 stores in Tennessee with more than 1,728 stores in 35 states.

Nationally, the company employs over 25,000 people.

The first ALDI store opened in 1961 in Germany, making it the first discount grocer in the world.

The first ALDI store to open in the United States was in 1976 in Iowa.
