ALDI, Inc. filed a final land development plan for a roughly 19,432-square-foot commercial building on about 3.9 acres in Shrewsbury Township, York County. The county records describe it as retail, and it fits an ALDI grocery store. The filing includes a copy of the preliminary plan that was approved earlier.
News reports found online say a first ALDI in Shrewsbury Township, at 648 East Forrest Avenue, was scheduled to open on November 20, 2025. The reports do not tie that store to this filing by plan number. The match rests on the same developer, the same township and the same kind of use. The records found do not say what was on the site before.
No opposition, hearing or approval details turned up in public sources. The township's meeting records were not found online.
