Aldi Sets Opening Date For Newest MoCo Location

Aldi has set a tentative opening date for its upcoming location at 737 S Frederick Avenue in the Walnut Hill Shopping Center (Gaithersburg).

According to the grocery store’s Google listing, it’s slated to open on Wednesday, July 24th. Permanent signage was recently installed at Aldi and a large mural was completed by Baltimore-based street artist Nether (@Nether410).

Last year, the Gaithersburg City Council approved the annexation of the shopping center, which paved the way for Aldi to move in to part of the old grocery store space and a new Sheetz to be built. Aldi will be taking over a little more than half of the space that was previously home to Weis, and Concentra, a nationwide leader occupational medicine, will occupy the adjacent space. Construction on Sheetz has not yet begun, and the gas station is not expected to open until 2025.

A Flash/Rapid Bus transit center will be located at the intersection of 355 and S. Westland Dr., and the shopping center will be gifting Montgomery County over an acre of land on the property to facilitate the project. The news of the opening date was first reported by Robert Dyer.
