Regional Vice President, Aaron Sumida said to News 10 ABC,

We are excited to provide local shoppers with a revamped and refreshed ALDI store designed to make grocery shopping smarter, faster and easier. We are always looking out for the needs of our shoppers and decided to move our Schenectady store to allow more room for added fresh, high-quality products at affordable prices, which our loyal shoppers know and love.

There was an overwhelming demand for a grocery store that was closer to residents in that Five Corners section of Rotterdam.

There is another ALDI at 303 Saratoga Road in Glenville.
