New Bedford City Councilor Brian Gomes is renewing the call for ALDI supermarkets to move into to the former Shaw’s site located on King’s Highway in New Bedford. This request comes nearly two years after five New Bedford City Councilors invited Aldi to New Bedford to no avail.
Aldi announced in January of 2019 that they are moving into the to the old Shaw’s location at William S. Canning Blvd. in Fall River.
Here is the motion that will be presented to the City Council on Thursday, Feb 14:
Councillor Gomes, requesting, that a letter be sent ALDI Inc., attention Jason Hart and Bruno Lourenco inviting the supermarket chain to consider locating a supermarket in the City at the former Shaw’s site located on King’s Highway; said letter should include a map of the location and the highway accessibility; further, that the Economic Development Council also reach out to ALDI Company Officials inviting them to meet with City Officials to discuss the possibility of a good company with good paying jobs having a location in the City in New Bedford. (To be Referred to the Economic Development Council and that Rule 40 be Waived.)
