Aldi plans second Maine store, eyeing former Save-A-Lot location

Aldi opened its first store in Portland, Maine, in March and has since been consistently busy. Aldi is reportedly planning a second location in Maine, potentially at the former South Paris, Maine, Save-A-Lot site. Save-A-Lot previously closed its South Paris, Maine, location citing declining revenue, increased costs, and stiff competition from other larger chains.

The expansion of Aldi into the Maine market increases competition within the grocery sector. The former Save-A-Lot location, which closed due to factors such as increased costs and competition, may be repurposed for Aldi's new store.
