ALDI confirms supermarket expansion to another Australian region
- Replies 16
Shoppers in Australia have long known and loved ALDI supermarkets—but for millions of Australians in Tasmania, the Northern Territory, parts of Western Australia and North Queensland, the joy of ALDI has been out of reach.
But today is a special day for Aussies in the North Queensland region, as ALDI have just made a major breakthrough upgrade—something that might give joy to thrifty shoppers who have a knack for affordable buys!
A first in the 22 years it served Aussies, ALDI is breaking the boundaries and bringing its uniquely good shopping experience to the North Queensland region—and it’s creating jobs at the same time.
ALDI Townsville opened its doors in the Willows Shopping Centre today and with it comes an array of fresh innovations.
These include self-checkouts, a modern interior design, and a simple layout to help customers navigate the store. The new, state-of-the-art store has also created forty positions for full-time and part-time employees. It’s an exciting move that will no doubt be welcomed by local shoppers.
'Now more than ever, it’s important that Aussies have access to affordable groceries, so it’s truly a pleasure for us to be able to reach a whole new community of people with our “Good Different” shopping experience,' said ALDI Australia’s Managing Director for Queensland, Bronwyn Post.
‘We know the passion North Queenslanders have for ALDI and how much they’ve been looking forward to ALDI bringing Australia’s lowest-priced groceries to the region.’
She went on to point out that shoppers in Townsville may notice a few differences when visiting their local ALDI for the first time. ‘These differences allow us to cut out unnecessary costs and pass these savings on to customers. Last year alone, we delivered $3.1 billion in savings directly to customers. That’s real money back in the pockets of Australian families,’ she explained.
Some things remain the same. She expressed: ‘Our Price Promise remains the same from the day we opened our first store over 20 years ago—we won’t be beaten on the cost of your weekly shop. We look forward to welcoming the residents of Townsville to the store so they can discover the savings that can be made for themselves.’
Finally, what’s an ALDI store without its famous Special Buys aisle, stocked with new products available to buy every Wednesday and Saturday? ALDI Townsville will be no different, with some exclusive goodies on offer for the grand opening. These include a 10kg Front Load Washing Machine for just $399 and a 32' Philips HD LED Android TV for only $189.
These Special Buys have something for everyone, and that's the allure. It’s almost like a treasure hunt where you never know what gems you might discover! One week, you might stumble upon fitness gear that can completely revamp your home workout routine, the next, you might be intrigued by a vintage record player. No doubt, a shopping trip to ALDI can easily become an exciting adventure for adults!
With the opening of the new ALDI store in Townsville, locals can now experience the thrill of the Special Buys aisle and the fantastic products it has in store!
An integral part of ALDI's market expansion is the substantial positive impact on local economies, particularly in areas such as job creation and local sourcing. Their commitment to employing people within the community and sourcing goods locally is notable, and ALDI Townsville is no exception.
The opening of new ALDI stores invariably brings about a surge in employment opportunities, and the Townsville store has already created forty full-time and part-time positions. This not only provides much-needed employment for locals but also helps to stimulate economic growth within the region. Moreover, ALDI understands that a local workforce is uniquely equipped with knowledge about their own community–something that is invaluable in the retail industry.
