ALDI, #1 in Every Day Low Prices*, is bringing a new type of shopping experience to Madison residents as it opens its newly converted store at 729 W Base St. Customers will find an easier way to shop, built on simple and intentional differences – from its quarter cart system to its assortment of ALDI-exclusive products – designed to add up to big savings.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Madison ALDI will take place on Thursday, Oct. 29 at 8:45 a.m. The store will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. To celebrate, the first 200 customers will receive a gift bag filled with a sampling of ALDI products and a gift card as part of the ALDI Golden Ticket giveaway program.
"At our new Madison ALDI store, shoppers will notice a smaller, easy-to-shop store layout filled with a carefully selected range of products to provide them with exactly what they need,” said JR Perry, Regional Vice President for ALDI. "As more people look for better ways to stretch their dollar further, we’re excited to bring quality groceries at the lowest possible prices to Madison.”
This latest opening brings ALDI one step closer to its goal of having 3,200 stores by the end of 2028.
Quarter carts: When shoppers enter, they’ll insert a quarter to unlock a shopping cart and will get it back when they return the cart. With shoppers being responsible for their carts, staff can focus on important tasks inside the store, leading to even more savings for shoppers.
Small store format: The smaller format store is filled with a curated assortment of quality products shoppers want and need, allowing ALDI to operate more efficiently and pass those savings back to shoppers. Small efficiencies like this help shoppers get in and out, so they can keep on with their day.
Self-bagging: Shoppers will breeze through checkout and bag groceries their way before leaving. This approach reduces costs, which puts savings back in shoppers’ pockets. ALDI is the first major U.S. retailer to remove single-use plastic shopping bags at checkout and continues to advance its ambition to make sustainability affordable and accessible to all shoppers.
ALDI-exclusive products: Nearly 90 percent of items on ALDI shelves are exclusive brands, and 1-in-3 of those products are award-winning. Shoppers will find organic meats, fresh produce, sustainable seafood, standout cheese and wine selections, and options for every taste and lifestyle.
Nearly all ALDI locations nationwide provide customers with convenient shopping options, including grocery delivery, and curbside grocery pickup. Visit shop.aldi.us or one of our delivery partners to place an order.
