Snapshot: ALDI - Ghent, Norfolk, VA

ALDI
Opened: 2020
Previous Tenants: Farm Fresh
Location: 730 W 21st St, Ghent, Norfolk, VA
Photographed: December 2019-January 2020
A roughly 38,000 square foot Farm Fresh was split in half when it closed in the historic Ghent neighborhood, with ALDI opening up in the right half, taking just under 20,000 square feet. I actually captured the store just before its opening when it was almost complete but just missing the final touches. I took the above picture in early January 2020, and the below one just a few days earlier but in December 2019.
And in the second picture here, you can actually see the Farm Fresh facade remaining to the left side. We also see that ALDI did only a little bit of renovation to the outside, leaving a lot of Farm Fresh's facade intact, but adding their own signature appearance. It's looking pretty good! Here's another supermarket in the Ghent neighborhood. Tomorrow, we're headed outside of Norfolk for our final Hampton Roads day. Portsmouth is our next destination, where we'll be seeing one store here on The Market Report and one over on Grocery Archaeology. Check it out!
