New Aldi opening Thursday in Pascagoula

In just under 24 hours, a new Aldi location opens in Pascagoula.

The grand opening festivities kick off at 9 a.m. Thursday morning. The first 100 customers through the door will receive a special Aldi gift bag.

Aldi leaders say they are excited to expand to the Pascagoula market. Loxley Division Vice President Heather Moore said, “We are so excited to get our store open in town. Again, that quality and price is what’s really important to us. But they can come in here — it’s a quick shop — it’s 12,000 square feet. They can get in, get out, and get back to life. If they are too busy, they can order it have it delivered, order it at work and pick it up on the way home. Whatever it is to help them save some time and some money.”
