New York - Aldi heads to Rego Park shopping center
New York - Discount supermarket chain, Aldi, plans to open its first New York City store at the Rego Park II shopping center at 61-35 Junction Blvd. in Queens.
Aldi Inc. operates more than 1,000 stores in 31 states in the U.S., primarily from Kansas to the East Coast.
Last September, Crain's reported that Aldi was building a store in Queens, but the company declined to disclose the exact location. Now it is gearing up to hire staff, though the store is not expected to open until early 2011.
Aldi is known for its store-branded merchandise, with about 95% of the items exclusive to Aldi. Its owners, Theo and Karl Albrech, also own the Trader Joe's supermarket chain.
