In fact, Aldi plans to open 800 new locations by 2028, with 225 stores expected to open this year alone.

It's the 3rd most popular grocery chain in New Jersey with several locations throughout the state, but there's still room for more.

Hopefully, some new stores will open up around Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

So, what store took over the empty building on Route 35 in Neptune?
