Aldi, a German-owned chain of grocery stores, plans to open 45 Southern California locations by the end of 2016. Earlier this year Aldi announced plans to open 650 new stores in the U.S. over the next five years including their Southern California Regional Headquarters and Distribution Center being built at 12661 Aldi Place, in Moreno Valley.

Southern California, You've Never Heard Of Aldi?

You're not alone!  So here's a little history . . . Did you know that Trader Joe's and Aldi were owned by Brothers?

Aldi is well known in Europe - especially Germany, where it was founded in the 1940s by Karl and Theo Albrecht. The brothers, now deceased, decided to part ways in the 1960s and split the company in two: Aldi Sud and Aldi Nord. Both businesses have expanded globally with Aldi Sud operating Aldi stores in the U.S.  Aldi Nord owns the Trader Joe’s chain, which has fewer stores than Aldi but is much better known. Even though Aldi lacks name recognition, it was ranked as one of the top three favorite grocery store chains in America. The company was also named the leading low-price grocery store for the fourth-consecutive year.

Aldi plans to open several store locations throughout the Inland Empire.  The company listed the following store locations:

• 1638 East Second St. in Beaumont

• 15080 Summit Ave. in Fontana

• 4020 Highland Ave. in San Bernardino

• 78-601 Highway 111 in La Quinta

• 18289 Collier Ave. in Lake Elsinore

• 30163 Haun Road in Menifee

• 12630 Day Street in Moreno Valley

• 72543 Highway 111, Suites A & B in Palm Desert

• 5200 Ramon Road, Suite B5  in Palm Springs

• 625 E. Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino

• 34000 Yucaipa Boulevard in Yucaipa

Each store will be about 10,000 square feet and will employ approximately 20 people.  Aldi employees will work an average of 33-40 hours a week and be eligible for benefits including health and dental insurance, according to some news releases. Aldi will offer starting wages of $13 per hour for its Southland employees, the company said, with an opportunity for long-standing workers to earn up to $21 per hour.  Moreno Valley warehouse employees will earn a starting wage of $19 per hour, with an opportunity for long-standing warehouse employees to earn up to $26 per hour.

For all those that missed the hiring event held for Aldi on Monday, September 28, 2015 at the Hilton Garden Inn in San Bernardino . . . mark these dates. 

Aldi is holding upcoming hiring events for shift managers Oct. 19 and Oct. 29. The website also lists hiring events for warehouse order selector and warehouse receiver Nov. 13, 14 and 15 at their new Aldi Distribution Center in Moreno Valley.

Aldi requires applications to be made in person, but details of future hiring events are posted at Aldi Store Jobs and Event Search and on Facebook.
