New sign promises Little Rock’s first ALDI store is coming soon

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Shoppers in Conway will be able to head to the new ALDI store opening later this month, and fans of the value grocer in Little Rock will soon have a chance to get their favorite items as well.

A “Coming Soon” sign with the ALDI logo can be seen on fencing around the property at 12309 Chenal Parkway that previously housed Bed Bath and Beyond.

Last June, KARK 4 News confirmed that ALDI USA, the corporation that own the store chain, had purchased the property. An email from a public relations firm representing ALDI stated the grocer is planning to open a store in the spring.
