A German discount grocer is buying up land in the Grand Canyon State — but not to open stores.
Aldi is planning to open a regional fulfillment center in Goodyear, Arizona. The facility will house an office and distribution center, and will create 132 jobs, according to the Phoenix Business Journal.
Aldi is purchasing 27 acres of land from Goodyear for $3.6 million, and another 42 acres from developer Sunbelt Holdings. The facility is expected to open by 2020, although the timeline could change, the report said.
