Residents line up at 3 a.m. for Jackson ALDI opening
JACKSON, Mo. (KBSI) – Residents in Jackson lined up to be the first customers of the newly constructed ALDI grocery store Thursday morning.
Some of the people first in arrived at 3 a.m.
Carolyn Sinks, a resident in the Jackson community, patiently waited in her lawn chair with a heavy blanket, bundled up in her coat and gloves. Sinks had been waiting since 6:30 a.m.
“I would have came about 5 a.m. but nobody would come with me,” said Sinks. “I really like ALDIs.”
ALDI is welcoming customers at its first location in Jackson on Thursday, December 7 at 8:45 a.m.
The store will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The first Jackson ALDI store will offer fresh, organic produce delivered daily and food for every taste and lifestyle (gluten-free, plant-based, whatever you need) in addition to convenient access to curbside pickup and grocery delivery options.
“Our stores are designed to make grocery shopping smarter, faster and easier, and we’ve been voted the price leader for six years running,” said Rob Jeffries, O’Fallon regional vice president for ALDI. “We’re excited to open our first ALDI store in Jackson and introduce local customers to a new, more affordable way of shopping.”
The first 100 customers will receive a gift card as part of the ALDI Golden Ticket gift card giveaway program. Shoppers can also enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win a $500 ALDI gift card during the Grand Opening weekend from December 7 through December 10.
