CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - Another major grocery store is closing on the city’s South Side.

An Aldi in Auburn Gresham is the latest supermarket to end its run there. A company spokesman confirmed the store on South Ashland was closed on June 12th.

Aldi said declining sales and repeated burglaries are the reasons.

There are still grocery stores relatively close by, A Walmart Neighborhood Market is located just north of the former Aldi on Ashland. A Food 4 Less location is about a mile away.

This isn’t the first location that Aldi has closed in a historically disinvested neighborhood. It shut down its location in West Garfield Park in 2021.
