After months of remodeling, the Aldi outside Rehoboth Beach is set to open with a ribbon cutting at 8:30 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 11.
Located in the Route 1 shopping development with andThat!, PetSmart and Chick-fil-A, the new store is part of the retailer’s expansion plan to open approximately 100 new grocery stores in 2021 across the country. It will occupy the space that used to house Kmart, which closed its doors in early 2020.
This will be the first Aldi in Sussex County, but not in Delaware. There are already locations in Camden, Dover, Smyrna, Middletown and Wilmington. The address for the new store is 19563 Coastal Highway, Unit 1, Rehoboth.
According to the company website, store hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. For more information, go to aldi.us.
