Aldi, the German grocer, is slated to open a Milford store Feb. 9, the first of two downstate stores scheduled to open in February.

The new location is in Milford Plaza on Route 113. The store is taking over a former Save A Lot and Sherwin Williams, which moved to another storefront in the shopping center.

The second location slated to open soon is in Millsboro's Peninsula Crossing, which is about 25 miles south of Milford Plaza on Route 113. An Aldi spokesperson said the Millsboro store will open in late February.

They will be the eighth and ninth Aldi locations in Delaware. The company opened two stores in 2021 — off Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach and in the Christiana Town Center off Route 273 — but took a year off from openings in 2022.

Aldi is known as a low-cost alternative to traditional grocery stores. Its stores are smaller than most grocery stores and offer products almost exclusively from their own private-label brands. Products are displayed in the packaging they're shipped in, one of many of the company's cost-saving measures.

The new locations represent a continued expansion into southern Delaware. Aldi opened its first Delaware store in 2016, but until 2021 all of its locations were in New Castle and Kent counties. That year the company took over a portion of a former Kmart off Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach.

The Milford Aldi will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

In a support article, Anthropic lists several safety measures devs creating AI-powered apps for minors should include, like age verification systems, content moderation and filtering and educational resources on "safe and responsible" AI use for minors.
