Discount grocer Aldi is looking at moving ahead with a new store near Signal Mountain, and the location the chain has identified is an outparcel of a former Kmart.

A design firm for the company has submitted a building permit application and extensive drawings to the city of Chattanooga to put the proposed Aldi store at 680 Signal Mountain Road.

The city hasn’t yet approved the project, but it’s under review.

The application by SGA Design Group of Tulsa, Okla., calls for building nearly 20,000 square feet of new construction with the job valued at $1.1 million.
