Apollo Beach Aldi Opens its Doors
Aldi’s long-awaited Apollo Beach location officially opened its doors with a soft launch on April 30th, followed by a grand opening on May 1st.
So… did it soar past expectations or leave folks longing for the days of Winn-Dixie?
The jury’s still out. Some early shoppers have raised eyebrows over the store’s smaller footprint and limited selection. But Aldi fans are a loyal crew — and after waiting in long lines for opening-day giveaways, many are already singing its praises.
Still, it’s early. If you haven’t checked it out yet, now’s a great time to swing by without all the pomp and circumstance and judge for yourself.
