ALDI has opened its latest New York City store, here on the border of Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene (Google tells me that this store is just barely in a western corner of Fort Greene). This store is located in a new-construction development, so you can see retail spaces to either side of the ALDI are not yet filled and are still under construction. When you enter through that front door, you walk down a hallway to get into the supermarket, which is set back from the road a bit.
The store is around 15,000 square feet, making it roughly typical in size for an ALDI. It's quite a bit smaller than the new LIDL just about four blocks west, though. This store is also within an easy walk of a Whole Foods (previously one of the 365 small-format stores), a Stop & Shop (previously Pathmark), a gourmet-focused Brooklyn Fare, a Trader Joe's, a Bravo, and multiple independents of varying sizes -- NYC Fresh Market, Downtown Organic Market, and some smaller stores.
The layout is a bit different from the average ALDI I'm used to, with bread on the right side of the first aisle. Produce, deli/cold cuts, and meat line the left side, which is set up more like a typical supermarket's grand aisle. Dairy then lines the rest of the back wall, with frozen foods on the right side. I'm not sure if this is a layout that ALDI is moving towards, or just one dictated by the unusual shape of this space.
This is also new decor for ALDI, that they've been using in their new stores for at least a few months. I'm less familiar with the blue and striped columns, though, which feels very retro.
These department signs are clear and easy to read, both modern and a good match for the no-frills discount store environment.
This is ALDI's 14th New York City store, and their fourth in Brooklyn.
The setup of the center-store is typical for ALDI, it's only the perimeter that's a little different in this location.
Like the LIDL nearby, there's some dead wall space where we'd typically expect to see shelving or refrigeration, but that's likely a result again of the abnormally-shaped space.
Frozen begins in the back-right corner and then continues down the last aisle, although unusually, it is on the inside, not the outside wall.
Here's a look down the last aisle of the store...
...and across the front-end. I wonder if the colorful column design is specific to this store because of the prominent columns around the space, or if it's just something I've never noticed before in their other new stores.
