Aldi said Tuesday it will open next year in the Parkway Shops in North Jacksonville. It did specify when.
The city issued a permit Monday for Schmid Construction Inc. to build the almost 23,000-square-foot discount grocer at a cost of $1.8 million at 15324 Max Leggett Parkway, Building 200.
Aldi said it was too early to confirm any details about the store in North Jacksonville, including the number of employees.
The store has been expected since March 2018 when the city issued a Concurrency Reservation Certificate for it.
It is the 11th site open or proposed in Northeast Florida for the Germany-based discount chain.
