If you’re an Aldi shopper, the grocery store is adding a convenient option that also makes it easier to avoid crowds during the coronavirus pandemic.

The company just announced that it is expanding its curbside pickup service to nearly 600 Aldi stores this summer.

Aldi Is Expanding Its Curbside Grocery Pickup Service

Aldi says it is making the move because of a successful pilot and high interest from shoppers.
