ALDI will open its doors from 8:30am on 16 September, bringing its ‘Good Different’ shopping experience to Delacombe.
The opening of ALDI Delacombe in the Ballarat region of Victoria, will offer locals an exclusive range of high-quality products at Australia’s “lowest” prices. It also marks the creation of 18 new full-time and part-time jobs, providing a welcome boost to the Delacombe community.
The spacious new 1100sqm store will feature a range of innovations, including six self-checkouts, modern interior design and simple store layout so customers can easily navigate the savings on offer.
The store will be packed with award-winning fresh fruit and vegetables delivered daily, 100% Australian fresh meat and iconic Specials Buys.
“Customers can feel confident that every item in their trolley is not just great value but is top quality too,” says ALDI Australia. “It’s this guarantee that has contributed to ALDI winning Canstar Blue’s award for Australia’s Most Satisfied Shoppers eight consecutive times!”
ALDI Australia Regional Managing Director David Zalunardo said: “We’re excited to continue growing our presence in the Ballarat region with the opening of our new store at Delacombe. Our focus has always been on delivering high-quality groceries at the lowest possible prices, and we’re excited to offer local shoppers a convenient way to access ALDI prices we are known for.”
“Our Price Promise remains as strong as ever, helping Australian households save around $3,000 a year*. We look forward to welcoming customers through our doors and showing Delacombe residents how much they can save on their weekly shop without compromising on quality.”
Delacombe shoppers can experience ALDI’s famous Special Buys aisle with new products going on sale every Wednesday and Saturday.
For Delacombe locals who are shopping at ALDI for the first time or for those looking for some new items to try out, ALDI’s Shopping Expert Kylie Warnke has curated a list of “must try” products customers should pick up.
“Customers who haven’t shopped with us before or those looking to find some new favourites, should grab a 99 cent trolley token and head in store to check out the amazing range that we have to offer. We are confident that it’s not only the prices that will delight customers but also the amazing quality of ALDI’s exclusive brands, which are always winning awards,” says Ms Warnke.
“If you’re looking for a high performing award-winning stain remover then look no further than our Di San stain removing spray. At just $2.09 a bottle it’s a life saver for those stains you’re sure just won’t come out.”

Growing ALDI’s Good Difference in Australia
In 2001, ALDI opened its first two Australian stores. One in Sydney’s inner-west suburb of Marrickville, the other in the outer southwest, near Bankstown Airport. Each store stocked just 600 products, most of which were unknown brands to the Australian public at the time. Today there are over 600 stores, with 88%** of the nation’s population living within 20km of an ALDI store.
For the past seven consecutive years, ALDI Australia has been recognised as an Employer of Choice by the Australian Business Awards which celebrates organisations with an employee-first mindset. As a responsible employer ALDI offers every employee a salary above market rates, comprehensive training, employee wellness programs and paid parental leave.
Championing Australian products and partnerships
Delacombe customers will have access to ALDI’s exclusive branded products which have been carefully developed with our network of more than 1000 Australian business partners. Locals are set to be amongst the growing cohort of Australian shoppers who are increasingly coming to ALDI, seeking greater everyday value.
Opening hours from Wednesday, 16 September: Monday – Sunday 8:30am – 8:00pm.
The store is located at 50 Cherry Flat Road, Smythes Creek, Victoria 3351.
