Vandalia, Ill. – April 26, 2021 — ALDI will welcome shoppers back to its renovated Vandalia store when it reopens Friday, April 30, at 9 a.m. The store, at 1500 North 8th Street, is part of an ongoing initiative to remodel and expand existing ALDI stores nationwide.

Like all ALDI stores, the remodeled Vandalia location still offers a streamlined shopping experience, but customers will notice the elevated design.
“ALDI continues to prioritize remodeling stores with one goal in mind: to provide the best grocery shopping experience,” said Rob Jeffries, O’Fallon division vice president for ALDI. “We are excited for Vandalia residents to see the updated location, specifically designed to make shopping even easier, but ALDI fans can rest assured that the high-quality products and unbeatable value ALDI provides will remain unchanged.”

In addition, the retailer remains focused on ensuring stores are stocked with food and household essentials customers need, including healthy, convenient options and a robust selection of produce delivered fresh to stores daily.
