Aldi planning a South Loop location, records show

Aldi is set to expand its presence in Chicago's South Loop, as a permit has been issued for a new location at the Roosevelt Collection retail complex. The German-based grocery chain plans to renovate and retrofit the existing space, which will be part of an open-air mall on 150 W. Roosevelt Road.

As part of this expansion, Aldi is expected to bring its unique shopping experience to the area, with plans to offer quicker, easier, and more affordable options for customers. The company's CEO, Jason Hart, has stated that Aldi aims to become America's first stop for groceries, as it continues to grow its nationwide presence.

Aldi is on track to meet its goal of opening 800 new stores across the country by the end of 2028, with nearly 120 locations opened in 2024. The company currently operates 32 locations throughout Chicago and has announced plans to open several more stores in the coming years, including a River North location set for November and a West Loop store expected to open in 2026.

The new Aldi location is part of the Roosevelt Collection's ongoing developments, which include the recent opening of an AMC Roosevelt 16 movie theater. Other retailers and restaurants at the complex include H&M, The X Pot, and Old Navy.

I mean, who doesn't love gettin' affordable groceries without breakin' the bank? ๐Ÿค‘ And with their unique shopping experience, people are gonna flock to that new location. I'm curious, what makes them think they can become America's first stop for groceries? Are they really gonna disrupt the grocery game like that? Either way, more Aldi stores = happy consumers! ๐Ÿ‘

idk why ppl r hyped about aldis comin to chicago... its like every other store they got everywhere else in the US already lol ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ i mean dont get me wrong, i love a good discount as much as the next person but it feels like aldis is just replicatin what's already out there. and what about all the weird stuff ppl say about how good their shopping expirience is? its just a low rent store with cheap prices... sounds like a whole lotta trouble to me ๐Ÿคช
 
๐Ÿค” I'm not buying it... like, what's really going on here? This Aldi expansion in Chicago's South Loop just seems too convenient. Have you seen the Roosevelt Collection's plans for this area? It's like a master plan to create a retail hub that'll cater to big corporations like AMC and H&M. And now Aldi comes along and suddenly it's America's first stop for groceries? ๐Ÿค‘ I'm not saying they're bad, but something about this expansion just doesn't add up... maybe there's more to Jason Hart's statement than meets the eye? Maybe he's using this as a ploy to gain control over our grocery shopping experience? ๐Ÿ˜ณ Just think about it, Aldi's going to be everywhere soon... ๐Ÿš€
 
OMG, like I'm so down for this new Aldi spot in Chicago's South Loop! ๐Ÿคฉ I've been to their stores before and I love how affordable and efficient they are - it's like shopping on a budget, no cap! ๐Ÿ˜‚ They're really changing the game with their quick shopping experience, and I'm all about that convenience.

I'll def be checking out their store when it opens - I'm already planning my shopping list ๐Ÿ˜‚. Bring on more Aldi love to Chicago! ๐Ÿ’–

๐Ÿคฃ can you imagine walking into a crowded South Loop mall just to buy some cheap booze from Aldi ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ‘€ anyway, I guess it's nice that they're trying to bring their unique shopping experience to Chicago. like who doesn't love wandering around a disorganized store filled with rows of identical products? ๐Ÿ˜‚ and 800 new stores by 2028 sounds pretty aggressive...like they're trying to single-handedly keep the US economy from imploding ๐Ÿค‘
 
omg Aldi finally coming to Chicago? like we've been waiting for like forever ๐Ÿคฃ idk what's more exciting, their cheap prices or their super efficient shopping experience ๐Ÿ˜‚ anyway, i'm all for it. who doesn't love the thrill of finding a decent vegan option at 3am? ๐Ÿฅ—๐ŸŒ™ but seriously, 800 new stores by 2028? that's like, ambitious ๐Ÿคฏ i mean, we need more affordable groceries in this city stat! and btw, river north store is coming soon? ๐ŸŽ‰ can't wait to see what they do with the old Aldi building ๐Ÿข๐Ÿ‘€

Ugh, I don't know about this one... ๐Ÿค” I mean, Aldi's already got a pretty cool vibe going on with their no-frills shopping experience, but adding more of that to Chicago's South Loop? It just seems like another chain store sucking up space in the city. ๐Ÿšฎ And I'm not sure what's so appealing about "quicker, easier, and more affordable" grocery shopping... where's the charm in that? ๐Ÿ˜ Plus, I'm worried they're gonna lose some of the character that makes South Loop so awesome in the first place. Like, do we really need another open-air mall with a giant Aldi taking up space that could've been used for something more unique or local? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
