ALDI Grand Opening in Gaithersburg

 

ALDI has announced that the Grand Opening of their new Gaithersburg store will take place on Friday, May 15, 2015. For many of us, the new store located at 608 Quince Orchard Road will be a very convenient location.

ALDI is well known for their attractive prices on national brand food products including produce, meat, dairy and weekly essentials. The store hours will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays.

Why ALDI is different from other stores.

At ALDI, we do everything possible from our carts to checkout to energy-saving stores to give you incredibly high quality at impossibly low prices.

The Carts: We keep our carts in one convenient place. You put a quarter in the cart, shop and then return the cart to get your quarter back. This helps to keep prices low because we don’t spend time retrieving carts.

Checkout: Credit card processing fees are expensive. By only accepting cash, debit and EBT cards, it helps keep our prices low.

Bags: Bring your own bags or buy our reusable ones at checkout.

Saving Green: Everything we do from our smaller, energy-saving stores to recycled bags and cartons capture the very essence of conservation. As a result, you can save up to 50% on the majority of your needs.

Our Brands: ALDI brands are made of the same, or even higher, quality than national brands. Plus, they’re backed by our Double Guarantee. So you can be sure you and your family will trust ALDI brands for delicious satisfaction.

Roy-I like Aldi's for a lot of foods. They offer savings on a lot of products that are indeed good tasting. I wish they had one around here.

Roy, since Aldi's is a German chain, I've shopped there for many, many years.  I'm glad they are being successful over here as well.  For the American consumer, it takes a but getting used to especially the deposit in the shopping carts, something that you'll find just about at every grocery store in Germany.

I hadn't heard of ALDI stores, so out of curiousity did a store locator search to see if any were nearby.  There aren't any on the west coast!

I wasn't aware that Aldi was a national franchise. I thought they were just local here! Love the blue poppy!

Roy Kelley we don't have one of those Aldi stores in south Georgia. But very interesting store. I did take a minute to look the up. Sounds like a place I would go shopping. Thanks for the beautiful flower.

Is this the first Aldi in your area, Roy? We had the first open in Charlotte about 15 years ago and now they seem to springing up like mushrooms all over town. So I guess people like them.

We have previously shopped at the ALDI store in Germantown, Maryland. The new store will be much closer to our home.

Aldi is one of our favorite shopping spots - great deals! And I love the philosophical utility behind their shopping carts. I once had a job as a grocery bagger and cart-retriever. Roy Kelley, do you know that some customers wheeled their carts a block or two away from the grocery store? Well, that is where they had parked their cars. In the hot summer heat or in the coldest of winter's days or nights, there was always a lonely bagger/cart retriever that reclaimed those carts. Aldi is smart - the 'quarter' system. Haha ~  In the Orlando office and in 'overload.' Wishing you and Dolores a great day. Supposed to be 92 degrees today and sea breezes. Everything is green and flowery and very relaxing.

Jane Chaulklin-Schott - In my opinion, Aldi has a great solution for shopping carts. You have to return your cart to get your quarter back.

We have Aldi and like shopping there. I always forget my shopping bags though and have to limit my purchases to what I can carry.
