ALDI "Overwhelmed" By Creve Coeur Response

The discount grocer is now open at New Ballas and Olive.

After a well-attended sample day on Tuesday, ALDI opened for business in Creve Coeur Wednesday and held a low-key ribbon cutting Thursday prior to opening for the day. 

Rob Jeffries, a regional executive for the chain, told Patch he was "overwhelmed" by positive comments from shoppers in recent days who said they previously had to go to the grocer's location in University or Bridgeton.

Thursday's brief ceremony did not involve city officials or the Creve Coeur-Olivette Chamber of Commerce.
