Google listing: South Tampa Aldi to open on Halloween

A brand-new South Tampa Aldi may open as soon as next week.

The grocery chain has not officially announced the opening yet, nor has it replied to several emails over the past two months on an opening date, but on Thursday a message showed up on its Google listing alerting anyone searching for it that the grand opening would be Oct. 31.

A call to the store seeking verification Thursday went to a general mailbox with a message announcing that as part of its cost-cutting efforts the grocer did not list the phone number to individual locations. And its website still listed the store at 213 N. Dale Mabry Highway as “coming soon.”
