The Pitsburg, KS Aldi had been closed for a while — someone said just a week – but I passed by once when it was closed so I don’t know how long it was closed. It’s about 33 miles from my house to Pittsburg. There’s an Aldi in Joplin . . wait . . I just googled to see how far and they’re telling me there are now two Aldis in Joplin. The one that I know is there is 11 miles from our house. The one I’m not sure about is 12 miles (different direction) and supposed to be new. It may not even be open yet for all I know.
Well . . I just keep googling it and it appears that it opened Thursday, November 11. That explains why I didn’t know it was here. I should pay more attention to what’s going on around here!
That changes this whole blog post! I was going to say . . I think I’m going to start driving to the Pittsburg, KS Aldi because it wasn’t as crowded as the Joplin Aldi. Now . . we have two so hopefully that means that at least some of the people will start shopping at the new one. I’ll wait for the crowds to thin a bit and Vince and I will check it out.
Now I’m super happy to be living here. Two Aldi stores . . that is great news to this Aldi loving granny!

Don’t count on either not being crowded. Both of the ones I go to have increased traffic now with all the gifts and Christmas stuff they have. I went into one on Friday and walked back out, it was so crowded. I thought the parking lot was fairly full. Should have headed my gut instinct.

I’m betting you’re right. I shouldn’t have to go anywhere til after Christmas but that doesn’t mean I won’t be going out.

I love Aldi too!! There are several in the area around me – probably 4 within 25 minutes. Two are within about 10 minutes. I don’t go as often as I’d like, but I’m to the point where I’d just as soon stay home as to go shopping. Sound familiar? 🙂
Judy Laquidara says
Sounds very familiar! 🙂
Vince went out today and I stayed home.

This may be a good time to go to the older one because everyone wants to see what the new one is like!

Wow, Aldi stores everywhere around you! What a great treat!
