Retailer Investing $1.6 Billion to Update 1,300 U.S. Stores by 2020
OnFocus – ALDI welcomes shoppers back to its renovated Marshfield store when it reopens on Thursday, June 28. The store, located at 2107 N. Peach Ave., is part of a $1.6 billion initiative to remodel and expand more than 1,300 ALDI stores nationwide by the end of 2020. Locally, ALDI is investing more than $9.2 million to update five stores in the Wausau – Rhinelander area by the end of 2018.
To celebrate the Marshfield store reopening, ALDI will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, June 28 at 8:25 a.m., followed by its popular Golden Ticket giveaway offering gift cards to the first 100 customers. Shoppers can also enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win a year’s supply of ALDI produce.
