Grocery Store Business in Gardner MA Saturday, April 6, 2024
With the new Aldi store located at the Timpany Plaza in Gardner, the remaining Gardner grocery stores are getting some competition.
Photos taken within a few minutes of each other about 11am on Saturday, April 6, 2024 show that the new Aldi store was busy. At the same time, the Hannaford parking lot was reasonably full. The Price Chopper lot had some empty spaces. We did not visit the Walmart site.
Aldi had its grand opening and ribbon cutting on Thursday, April 4, 2024. A grocery store has been in operation at the Hannaford location for many years. The Gardner Price Chopper opened in Fall 2012. Walmart originally opened as just a Department Store and then added the food store section at a later date.
