Aldi welcomed customers for the first time on the 1300 block of Kildaire Farm Road near Cary Parkway. The store is part of the Shoppes of Kildaire shopping center, along with Trader Joe's.
Several posts on social media commented on the long lines to get into the store and heavy traffic at the entrance to the shopping center.
Another Aldi is located on Green Level Church Road in Cary.
Last month, the first Wegmans in North Carolina opened in Raleigh to much fanfare.
