« Update: WaterFire dates announced | Today | Bunnell trial: Babysitter faces tough cross-exam » May 8, 2008Germany-based market opens 2nd R.I. storeAldi, a Germany-based chain, opens its second market in Rhode Island today at 1138 Pontiac Ave., in Cranston. Aldi opened its first Rhode Island store in March at 444 Quaker Lane in Warwick. Aldi is smaller than a typical supermarket and carries about 1,300 products, many of them private label. Aldi also says that because it doesn't offer the frills of its larger competitors, its prices are lower. Aldi's world headquarters is in Essen, Germany, and its U.S. headquarters is in Batavia, Illinois. The company has 3,000 stores nationwide, 850 in the U.S. and six in New England. Aldi plans to open other Rhode Island stores in East Providence and in the former Valueland property on Smith Hill in Providence. -- Journal business editor John Kostrzewa Posted by Jack Perry CommentsHenry | May 8, 2008 2:08 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

I have shopped at ALDI in Warwick and tried a few of their private label items. They are comparable to the national brands. I will continue to shop there. Shaw's and Stop and Shop prices are out of sight. They are opening the market for low price food because of their high prices. Good luck to ALDI and Price Rite and stores of that type.
