An ALDI Food Market is under construction at the corner of Bluegrass Road and Encore Drive.

The store will be open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is projected to open in the fall.

The discount grocery store has more than 1,000 locations, 53 of which are in Michigan. The closest ALDI to Mount Pleasant is in Saginaw.

CM Life previously reported the Union Township approved the construction plans in September as part of the Union Commons shopping development. The store will be 17,800 square-feet with 73 parking spaces.

ALDI only accepts cash, debit and EBT cards. Customers may rent a shopping cart for a quarter, which will be returned. Customers must bring their own bags.

Calls to Aldi did not return requests for comment.
