Aldi is set to shut down its West Allis store at 1712 S. 108th Street this spring, pulling a bargain grocer out of a heavily trafficked commercial strip and leaving some regulars facing a longer haul for everyday essentials.
Aldi confirms closure and offers staff transfers
In a statement to WISN, ALDI said it will close the 1712 S. 108th Street location in the coming months. The company framed the move as part of a strategic effort to better allocate resources and told the station that all employees at the West Allis store have been offered transfers to other ALDI locations, rather than being left without a landing spot.
Store listing and local records
The official store locator on ALDI's website lists the West Allis market at 1712 S. 108th Street and notes services such as delivery and pickup at participating sites. City licensing documents from the City of West Allis also identify ALDI as operating at that address, backing up the store’s presence in municipal records.
A pattern of closures raises access concerns
Local officials and independent grocers are eyeing this latest notice in the context of a broader reshuffling of food options in Milwaukee and nearby suburbs. Reporting by WTMJ highlights a January ALDI closure on Milwaukee's north side near Sherman and Custer, and coverage from FOX6 points to earlier Pick 'n Save shutdowns that have helped spur city discussions about how to recruit and retain grocery stores. The West Allis exit lands squarely in the middle of that ongoing debate over where residents can reliably buy food without crossing half the metro area.
What comes next
ALDI said the West Allis store will close in the coming months but has not announced a specific date, adding that employees have been offered transfers. City officials and nearby business owners are seeking plans to replace the store at 1712 S. 108th Street before it closes.
