Expanded construction underway for Aldi in Wolfsburg, doubling the store size.
Aldi Expands Sustainably in Wendschott and Kaestorf, Germany
Aldi, the popular German supermarket chain, is making strides in its commitment to environmental responsibility with the construction and expansion of stores in Wendschott and Kaestorf.
The new Aldi store in Wendschott, set to replace the old one on Alte Schulstraße, will offer around 1860 products and boast a sales area of 1290 square meters, larger than its predecessor. Notably, the store will be built using sustainable wooden construction, a testament to Aldi's dedication to eco-friendly practices.
Sustainable features of the Wendschott store include energy-efficient design, the use of renewable energy, sustainable materials, water conservation, waste reduction, and green spaces. These initiatives aim to minimize the store's carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Meanwhile, the Aldi store in Kaestorf is undergoing expansion, with the store on Jembker Straße increasing from approximately 800 to almost 1100 square meters. The store will close for the final construction phase on September 20, with plans for a reopening at the end of the year. Like the Wendschott store, the Kaestorf store will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including a photovoltaic system and a heat recovery system.
In addition, Aldi has announced a tent sale in Vorsfelde during the construction period of the Wendschott store. The city council of Wolfsburg is also planning a development plan for the area between "An der Meine" and "An der Aller," although no draft has been presented as of yet.
The city of Wendschott is not the only area benefiting from Aldi's expansion. The company is also focusing on the development of a discount store in Vorsfelde in the long term, after the Raiffeisenmarket moves to Brechtorf. However, no information is currently available about any new opening or development plan for Aldi in Vorsfelde.
For those interested in detailed technical specifications or the latest updates about these expansions, official Aldi press releases and sustainability reports can provide further insights. The construction series documenting the Wendschott store is ongoing, with the next part scheduled for August, and the first video of the series is available in the Aldi press area.
Aldi's expansion in Wendschott will include a home-and-garden section, making it easier for locals to incorporate sustainable lifestyle choices into their shopping. The energy-efficient design and renewable energy systems being implemented at the new Kaestorf store will contribute to a more environmentally friendly home-and-garden shopping experience.
