Popular Grocery Chain Plans To Add Clinton Store

CLINTON, CT — An ALDI grocery store is planned for a site in Clinton. The store is being advertised in a real estate flyer for a site at 224 to 230 E. Main St.

Tyler Lyman, of True Commercial Real Estate, LLC, said that there is no opening date yet for the store.

The store is expected to be 20,664 square ft. Parking at the site will be between 105 and 110 spaces.

No plans have been filed with the town. Plans are still subject to local approvals, according to The Connecticut Scoop.

The real estate flyer notes that the center is "in the heart of Clinton's 'daily needs' retail district and conveniently located on Route 1 and only minutes from I-95."

There are available spaces at the site for lease that are 2,500 square feet and 7,150 square feet, respectively.

Other area retailers include Stop & Shop, Auto Zone, Walgreens, Dunkin', Shop Rite, and Advance Auto Parts.

Chris Daniels, regional VP for ALDI, said on Monday, "At this time, we do not have any information to share on a potential store in Clinton."

The popular discount grocer currently has over 30 locations across the state.

The company has set its eyes on a few possible locations for future stores in Connecticut.

In Stratford, reports indicate a new ALDI grocery store is being proposed to be built at the Stratford Square shopping plaza on Barnum Avenue.

A public hearing regarding the possible addition of an ALDI discount grocery store on Route 5 in East Windsor was held in April.

A new mixed-use plaza with an ALDI and a Starbucks was also proposed in Stonington.
