'I think you already have some attractive businesses around there, obviously Walmart attracts a lot of traffic, you have got Wegmans nearby, and I think people like to group their shopping trips together. So yeah, I think that is a good spot for a store such as Aldi,' said Waldinger.
Waldinger said construction may start late this year and be open sometime in 2026.

Aldi Just Made a Major Announcement That Will Make Summer Shopping More Affordable for Millions
For many, stocking up on groceries can cause sticker shock. But Aldi is hoping to alleviate some of that stress this summer. The grocery chain recently announced that it's cutting prices on nearly 25 percent of its selection, including meats, organic produce, and pantry staples, across its 2,400-plus stores through Labor Day. Prices on more than 400 products have been reduced, ranging from BBQ must-haves like organic grass-fed ground beef and homestyle baked beans to summertime favorites like vanilla ice cream and juice pouches. Even pet food products are included. Most of the discounted items are part of Aldi's private label brand, with around six percent being name-brand products. Aldi reports that the price drop will save customers an estimated $100 million based on an internal analysis of promotional pricing and projected sales volumes. According to a recent Pew Research Center survey, most U.S. adults (62 percent) say food costs are extremely or very important to them when deciding what to buy, and two-thirds say they are very concerned about food and consumer goods prices. "Value isn't a trend at Aldi. It's been in our DNA since we opened our first store nearly 50 years ago," Scott Patton, Aldi's chief commercial officer, said in a statement. "This summer, we're going further to deliver more of what sets us apart, great products at the lowest possible prices. With price drops on the season's most-loved products in every aisle, we want to do what we can to help shoppers enjoy more of summer." Aldi also has plans to add more than 225 stores in the U.S. this year, with 75 set to open this summer.

U.S. ocean container imports from China fell in May as tariffs took hold
U.S. seaborne imports of goods from China dropped 28.5% year-over-year in May, the sharpest decline since the pandemic, as President Donald Trump's 145% tariffs took hold, supply chain technology provider Descartes said on Monday. China is the top U.S. supplier of goods that enter through seaports, including the nation's busiest in Los Angeles/Long Beach. Domestic businesses ranging from retailer Walmart to automaker Ford depend on those goods to operate. Overall U.S. seaborne imports in May tumbled 7.2% from the year earlier to 2.18 million 20-foot equivalent units – snapping a streak of near-record increases fueled by companies frontloading goods to avoid higher duties. 'The effects of U.S. policy shifts with China are now clearly visible in monthly trade flows,' Descartes said in a statement. West Coast ports are more dependent on China trade and bore the brunt of the declines. From April to May, the nation's busiest seaports in Long Beach and Los Angeles experienced steep drops in goods from China, 31.6% and 29.9%, respectively, Descartes said. Top imports from China included furniture, bedding, plastic goods, machinery, toys and sporting goods. The United States and China agreed to a 90-day pause on punitive tit-for-tat tariffs last month. U.S. and Chinese officials met in London on Monday to defuse the high-stakes trade dispute between the world's largest economies. Port executives and shipping consultants expect volume from China to rebound during the tariff truce, albeit at a more moderate level. That's because the U.S. lowered the tariff for many goods from China to 30% during the pause. 'China-origin imports may continue to soften in the months ahead as importers reassess sourcing strategies amid rising landed costs,' Descartes said.
