In fact, the crowds were so large that the officials decided to cut the ribbon a few minutes early. Untilrecently,the discount supermarket chain had its Nues i location on Waukegan Road, near Jarvis Avenue. But the location was closed on March 1, and the newly built location at 6250 W Touhy Ave. opened a day later. Officials from Aldi'sBatavia division and Nues village officials were on hand to mark the opening. After the ceremonies were corn- pleted, officials were seen helping customers and pushing carts around, while Trustee Rosemary Palicki took the opportunity to get some shopping done. And while not everybody went away corn- pletely pleased, most customers who spoke to the Nues Herald- Spectator said they liked the new location. The new store is located on a parcel formerly occupied by the Landmark Ford dealership. Cost- co, which has a store hi the area, purchased the lot to redevelop it.
