In a highly anticipated move, ALDI, Australia's top-rated supermarket, introduced its renowned "Good Different" shopping experience to the sunny city of Townsville by opening a new store at Willow's Shopping Centre on Wednesday, 22nd November.
ALDI Townsville, the first store in North Queensland, offers the local community an exclusive selection of high-quality products at remarkably affordable prices. The 1379 sqm custom-designed storefront features innovative elements such as self-checkouts, modern interior design, and a simple layout for easy navigation of the enticing savings.
True to ALDI's commitment, the store boasts award-winning fresh produce, 100 percent Australian meat, and iconic Special Buys, ensuring customers that every trolley item is cost-effective and top-notch quality. ALDI's dedication to customer satisfaction has earned them Canstar Blue's award for Australia's Most Satisfied Shoppers eight times.
Bronwyn Post, Managing Director, Queensland, ALDI Australia, expressed excitement about reaching a new community with the 'Good Different' shopping experience, emphasising the importance of providing Aussies with affordable groceries.
For first-time ALDI shoppers in Townsville, ALDI's unique features, including a curated range of exclusive brands, streamlined operations, and coin deposit trolleys, set it apart from other supermarkets. These differences allow ALDI to cut unnecessary costs and pass on substantial savings to customers, contributing to the delivery of $3.1 billion in savings to Australian families last year.
ALDI Townsville promises the same Price Promise that has been upheld since the opening of the first store over 20 years ago – a commitment to not being beaten on the cost of the weekly shop. The store looks forward to welcoming Townsville residents to explore the significant savings firsthand.
Residents can experience ALDI's famous Special Buys aisle, with new products available every Wednesday and Saturday. To celebrate the grand opening, exclusive Special Buys include a 10kg Front Load Washing Machine for just $399 and a 32" Philips HD LED Android TV for only $189.
ALDI's shopping expert, Kylie Warnke, has curated a list of "must-try" products for first-time shoppers in Townsville, highlighting the quality and affordability of ALDI's exclusive brands:
In addition to offering budget-friendly prices, ALDI remains committed to making a 'Good Difference.' The store has run entirely on renewable electricity since June 2021, and the company is actively working towards reducing plastic packaging and achieving zero waste to landfill by 2025. Finder's 'Green Supermarket of the Year' award recognised ALDI's sustainability efforts.
All forty part-time and full-time employees at ALDI Townsville uphold the company's values and mission, enjoying above-market salaries, comprehensive training, employee wellness programs, and paid parental leave as part of ALDI's commitment to responsible employment.
