RIDGELAND, Miss. (WJTV) – ALDI has expanded in the Jackson-metro area with a new location in Ridgeland. The new store is located at 750 Highland Colony Parkway.

Known for its deals and exclusive ALDI finds, shoppers said the prices are too good to miss. To secure their spot, the first person got in line just after 3:15 a.m. on Thursday.

“When I compare it to shopping at other stores, I’m able to get a lot more fresh items for less than I would be able to other major brands stores,” said Jessica Alexander, a shopper.

For the grand opening on Thursday, the line was wrapped around the building. Some said the crowd size was overwhelming, but they will be back to see what the store has to offer.

ALDI has another location in Flowood. They plan to continue to expand across the metro and Mississippi, but they have not said where the new locations will be.
