Post by: Kimmyh on February 12, 2013, 11:12:21 am: They did the same here. I think they announce that they are coming and then start looking for a suitable site, followed by permits, building, etc.

it's so annoying when they do that....your hopes are raised, then let down with the wait period :-))

we are spoilt here....5 Aldi's in the Geelong area, and another is currently under construction, not far from 2 others.

They are only just starting to look for land and 'heard' they are looking at existing IGA stores
2-3 years is what we were told

Post by: *suzanne* on February 18, 2013, 08:27:21 am: are a lot of their products Australian made? I saw a bit on the news the other night but only about fresh produce not packaged stuff they said 2-3 years I think
