Paralympian gold medallist Megan Richter will be at the opening of the brand new store in Oldbury Green Retail Park in Oldbury Ringway on June 12.
She will join waiting customers, store manager Donna Galbraith and with her 35-strong team when the doors open at 8am.
The triathlete will be cutting the all-important ribbon on opening morning and presenting complimentary bags of fresh fruit and vegetables to the first 30 customers in the queue.
Triathlete Megan says: “I’m so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store. It will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its support of Paralympics GB.”
Ms Galbraith adds: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Oldbury Green. It’s set to be a special day and having Paralympic hero Megan Richter join us will make it a morning to remember.”
