"We know the passion North Queenslanders have for Aldi and how much they've been looking forward to Aldi bringing Australia's lowest-priced groceries to the region," Aldi managing director Bronwyn Post said.
"Now more than ever it's important that Aussies have access to affordable groceries so it's truly a pleasure for us to be able to reach a whole new community of people with our 'good different' shopping experience."
