Discount grocer Aldi plans to open a new store near Signal Mountain to service the surrounding area as the company continues to grow its Chattanooga footprint.
Plans are to open the new store in the second half of 2017, said Troy Marshall, vice president of the Aldi division that serves the Chattanooga area.
“We look forward to providing the community with high-quality groceries at the lowest possible prices,” Marshall said in a statement.
Aldi officials wouldn’t provide a specific location, saying that details are still being finalized.
However, the site of the former Kmart store off Signal Mountain Road near Mountain Creek Road has been considered for the new store, according to two people.
