West Columbia’s Aldi grocery store at 2930 Augusta Rd.  (US 1) is closed and undergoing a renovation. The discount store will be updated and enlarged. It will carry more products, because of more floor space when it is reopened, according to a company spokeswoman. The store will be more energy efficient, too. 

“The 2930 Augusta Road location is expected to open in mid-November. The remodeled store will be modern and easy to navigate, with more room for customers’ favorite products, inviting colors, high ceilings and natural lighting, said  Krysta Cearley, Aldi Salisbury Division vice president. “Today’s ALDI stores are also built with environmentally friendly materials such as energy-saving refrigeration and LED lighting.”
