ALDI Rebuilding: Ilion, NY

During a different trip, I happened to be going eastbound on NY-5S, and what do I see? A new ALDI in Ilion!

But first, let's take go back to October 2017 when we covered the original ALDI. Pictures taken October 11, 2017.

Slightly upmarket location with a gabled roofline. This was torn down in late 2018.

Typical late 1990s/early 2000s ALDI interior, with low drop ceilings and golden tile flooring.

Store had these ratty-looking 2008 Wanzl shopping carts. Normally stores with Wanzls would have newer units.

The present day...

An empty parcel between the old store and an Ace Hardware was used to build this new, and quite large ALDI.

Past these vehicles is the site of the original ALDI.

In typical modern ALDI fashion, carts are doublewide Technibilts. Model 7142W, DoM 12/05/2017.

Plenty of natural light from the front windows.

Sizeable produce section. Everything is considerably spaced out given how large this store is.

The open ceiling above the front end is considerably higher, like a train station.

With that, stay tuned for the next ALDI rebuilding!
