An Aldi spokesperson said in a written statement: “Our decision was based on several factors, including repeated burglaries and declining sales. Out of concern for our employees and customers, keeping this store open was no longer a sustainable option. All of our employees have been given the option to continue working at one of our other ALDI locations in the immediate area.”
The sign outside the building urges customers to visit the Aldi on 63rd Street, which is about three miles away in Englewood.
