An ALDI grocery store is scheduled to open at 100 Evergreen Square Southwest in Pine City, Minnesota, in May 2025. The store will occupy part of Evergreen Square, a shopping center where major renovations were listed as completed in early 2025 according to leasing information published on LoopNet.
The new store will offer grocery delivery, curbside pickup, and a range of ALDI-exclusive products. Available items will include fresh produce, bakery goods, meat and seafood, frozen foods, pantry essentials, household items, and seasonal products. ALDI’s “Twice as Nice Guarantee” will apply to eligible purchases. Employment opportunities are available, with positions including full-time and part-time associates.
History of Evergreen Square Site
The area now known as Evergreen Square was primarily undeveloped fields and wooded areas in 1952. Residential development expanded nearby through the 1970s, and Interstate 35 was built to the west of the site.
Evergreen Square was constructed in 1989, creating a new commercial space for Pine City. Aerial images from 1991 show a completed shopping center with several buildings and a large parking area. Over the next decades, the property housed various retail and service businesses, including a Fairview Clinic.
Redevelopment efforts began in 2024. Renovations to the center, including a new façade, roof, and parking lot, were described in a LoopNet listing, with completion noted for early 2025. Leasing details and conditions mentioned in the listing may have changed since publication.
A 2009 Google Street View image and a Pine County News article confirm that a Pamida store previously operated at 100 Evergreen Square Southwest. Pamida was a discount retail chain serving smaller Midwest communities. The company merged with ShopKo in 2012, leading to the closure or rebranding of many stores. The former Pamida building later became the focus of redevelopment efforts, including the upcoming ALDI opening.
Details on Renovations and Leasing
The Evergreen Square property covers 100–170 Evergreen Square Southwest. According to LoopNet, updates included a new roof, parking lot, and façade. Work was stated to conclude by January 2025.
Leasing information from LoopNet described an available 2,520-square-foot retail shell space with approximately 60 feet of frontage. The property was noted to offer updated utilities, central air, and heating. Availability and property conditions may have changed since the information was posted.
Evergreen Square is located near Interstate 35 and other established commercial properties in Pine City.
