The planning commission plans to review two preliminary items at next month's meeting—one to allow for a Chick-Fil-A, and another to allow for an Aldi to be built in the city.
A preliminary subdivision and a preliminary site plan for the proposed Chick-Fil-A are included on the agenda for the July 18 meeting. A preliminary site plan for the proposed Aldi is also up for review.
The proposed location of the Chick-Fil-A is a vacant lot at 1001 Beards Hill Road—at the intersection of Beards Hill Road and MD Route 22. It would neighbor the .

Aldi, terrible.....not what Aberdeen needs either. I like the idea of a low price grocery store but don't like what it will bring for shoppers. I think Aldi is a move in the wrong direction. "If you build it they will come." So lets NOT build it so they don't come.
What the Hulkster wants to see s the Ollies plaze torned down and something just a bit nicer put there. Thats ALOT of prime real estate not going to good use, I'm very surprise its still standing as it is.
More so, since the parent company is German with locations all over the world, there is a rotating selection of imported gourmet items you'd be hard pressed to find at Shop-Rite and certainly not at Mars. Bottom line -- Aldi is a very smart business model which fits nicely within the existing area grocery outlets. If you're too high and mighty to get down with the masses, you may want to keep driving to Wegmans.
