First Look: Aldi Supermarket Officially Opens

A little over a year after it was initially announced, German supermarket chain Aldi has opened its doors to the public in Lindenhurst.

The new Park Avenue store is located in a small strip-mall, along with Rite Aid and LA Fitness, and across from the Great South Bay Shopping Center in West Babylon.

The new supermarket features high-quality grocery goods with rather low prices, all a part of the company's drive to keep prices low through keeping the shopping process simple.

"We are pleased to bring our first store to Lindenhurst to help customers get high-quality products at everyday low prices," said Bruce Persohn, South Windsor division vice president for ALDI. “We challenge shoppers to switch from national brands to our high-quality exclusive brands and save up to 50 percent without compromising."

Aldi's exclusive brands go through testing before hitting the shelves and the store offers a double guarantee: full satisfaction or the store will refund your money and replace the product.

The new building, which was constructed on a piece of the strip-mall's parking lot, was constructed using recycled materials and uses energy-efficient lighting and cooling systems to be environmentally friendly as well as cost-effective.

The new Aldi Supermarket is the third on Long Island, with other locations now open in Lake Grove and Bay Shore.
