Although some early bird shoppers were able to preview the new ALDI location in the Eagle Mountain Shopping Center yesterday, a celebration of the Batesville store officially opening its doors was held Thursday morning.
A line of people stretched around the corner of the shopping center in the early morning hours before the store’s doors were scheduled to open at 8:45 a.m.
According to a release from the grocery chain, the first 100 customers this morning were scheduled to receive a gift bag filled with a sampling of ALDI Fan Favorites products and a gift card as part of the ALDI Golden Ticket gift card giveaway program. Shoppers will also be able to enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win a $500 ALDI gift card.
The Batesville ALDI is located in the Eagle Mountain Shopping Center, 23 Eagle Mountain Blvd. The store will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
