A new Aldi discount grocery store is set to open Thursday, Sept. 1, at 3221 Devils Glen Road, Bettendorf, company officials announced Monday, Aug. 22.
The store will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. This will be the sixth Aldi store in the Quad Cities and the first in Bettendorf.
Work crews were busy at the store’s building site on Monday afternoon, Aug. 22. Crews appeared to be busy landscaping and working on numerous jobs inside the building and in the parking lot.
Once open, the first 100 customers will receive a gift bag filled with a sampling of Aldi fan favorites products and a gift card as part of the Aldi Golden Ticket gift card giveaway program, according to a news release. Shoppers can also enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win a $500 Aldi gift card.
“Our stores are designed to make grocery shopping smarter, faster and easier, and we’ve been voted the price leader for five years running,” Heather McCarthy, regional vice president for Aldi, said in a news release issued Monday. “We have served the greater Quad Cities market for more than 30 years and are excited to continue to offer Bettendorf residents an affordable way of shopping.”
On Monday, the Aldi company website had this statement: “Our grand opening is right around the corner and we’re stocking our shelves with aisle after aisle of products you love. We’ve got everything from fresh produce delivered daily to everyday essentials you can never have enough of.”
