The Aldi that opened this morning in downtown St. Paul with a line out the door is one of about 10 across the nation with digital messaging displays, modern graphics, layout, fixtures, lighting — a prototype of sorts you’d have to go to Manhattan to see otherwise. After 18 months without a grocery store, downtown St. Paul has a completely revamped new Aldi… twincities.com/2026/09/24/gr…
🎉A big congrats to ALDI USA on the opening of their newest store in St. Paul! We’re excited to welcome the great addition to the community! 🛒 #stpaul #ALDI #grandopening

“The profit margin for a grocery store is only 1.7%”, Steve Barthel @MNGrocers
Labor, energy costs, govt policies that increase costs are passed on to consumers; as is cost of retail crime.
