Aldi, the German grocery chain with a cult following, is opening another Alabama location.

Aldi will open at Academy Plaza in Huntsville, according to developers RD Management LLC. The grocery store will occupy 21,600 square feet of the 102,962-square-foot development at the intersection of Memorial Parkway and Drake Avenue across from Parkway Place Mall. The store is expected to open in mid-November.

"Bringing a well-known supermarket name to Academy Plaza will add a level of convenience for shoppers in the Huntsville community needing a new grocery option," said Richard Birdoff, principal and president of RD Management. "Discount retail is what's thriving in the industry right now, and Aldi is the perfect example of how fresh grocery and affordability can come together to appeal to customers."

Aldi has about 1,600 stores across 35 states with 24 located in Alabama. The chain recently announced it is opening its first Montgomery store, with another location at Hoover's Stadium Trace Village development.
