The first ever Victorian ALDI Corner Store opened on Thursday, September 8th, providing city-goers with its extensive range of ready-to-go meals, artisan bakery items, and iconic grocery products.
“We are so excited to bring a unique in-store pop-up to Melbourne for the launch of Victoria’s first Corner Store. And who better to sample our coffee than the coffee aficionados of Melbourne’s CBD – who have worked the formula of delicious coffee and impressive convenience down to a fine art. With our Lazzio coffee receiving the Golden Bean Award for the past three consecutive years and the Canstar Award for being the Best Retail Coffee in Australia this year, we’re confident our beans stack up and will impress the coffee-loving Melbournians,” said Varun Raheja, ALDI Buying Director.
The store is located at 501 Swanson St in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. The ready-to-go meals available range from sushi to sandwiches.
“ALDI’s Corner Stores have been designed to better meet the needs of our customers in high-density, urban areas. Shopping habits continue to evolve, and we are seeing a large audience of people who prefer shopping more frequently with a hyper-focus on convenience,” said Huw Longman, director of ALDI Corner Stores.
“The ALDI Corner Store is designed purposefully to meet these needs, taking convenience and creativity and combining it with the kind of quality and savings that only ALDI can offer. It’s a curated experience for inner-city Melbournians that puts convenience at the centre alongside ALDI’s renowned value.”
ALDI has two other corner stores, both in New South Wales - the Darlinghurst Corner Store and the North Sydney Corner Store.
