The Aldi on South Lindbergh Boulevard could get a facelift after the Green Park Planning and Zoning Commission heard a proposal last month for a final development plan that would expand the existing grocery store.
The Planning and Zoning Commission ultimately decided to postpone discussing or taking any action on the presented amended final development plan for the Aldi at 11185 Southtowne Square because the city had not yet had the time to review the plans.
Aldi is proposing expanding its current store an additional 2,050 square feet. The upgrade would include a new store entrance and updated signage and other outward features. The building was only built in 2016 to replace the smaller original store across the street, but the facelift is part of a nationwide undertaking by Aldi to update and standardize the grocery chain’s stores.
Filing began at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 15, and will continue through 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 19.
