In 1961, the Albrecht family opened the first ALDI store in Germany.
More than half a century later, a new location will open in the young city of Tucker.
ALDI did not confirm an exact location, but the new store will open on Lavista Road. It should open in winter 2017, according to Thom Behtz, ALDI Jefferson Division vice president.
An ALDI will also open in Peachtree Corners around that time.

Both low-price grocery stores will be more than 17,000-square-feet.
"All of our new stores are modern and easy to navigate, with more room for customers’ favorite products, inviting colors, high ceilings and natural lighting," Behtz said in a statement. "Today’s ALDI stores are also built with environmentally friendly materials such as energy-saving refrigeration and LED lighting."
