After closing in November for remodeling, Aldi, 6016 Sienna Ranch Road, Missouri City, will reopen Thursday, Dec. 13. A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 8:25 a.m. followed by a "Golden Ticket" giveaway presenting gift cards to the first 100 customers. Shoppers can also sample Aldi-brand food and enter to win a year's worth of Aldi produce.

The renovations included adding refrigeration space and an improved store layout. As part of a $1.9 billion initiative to remodel and expand more than 1,300 stores nationwide by the end of 2020, Aldi is not only physically remodeling stores but also increasing its fresh food selection by 40 percent.
