Discount grocery store chain Aldi is expected to bring its national expansion to metro Phoenix, but plans for Phoenix-area stores appear to have slowed down.
Despite buying more than a dozen buildings in the Valley, permits with several cities have expired.
Locations that were expected to open late this year or early in 2020 don’t have expected opening dates anymore.
An Aldi distribution center in Goodyear could still be several years out, according to a city spokeswoman.
