A German grocery chain is hungry for more territory in Richmond.
Aldi, which last week opened its first two local stores, has filed plans in Henrico County for what would eventually be its eighth location in the Richmond area.
The company, according to plans submitted with the county, would take over a portion of the 121,000-square-foot Burlington Coat Factory building at 6291 W. Broad St.
The building currently houses Burlington Coat Factory and a smaller Office Max on the end opposite the proposed Aldi space. The plans indicate that those two stores will continue to operate, with Aldi’s one-story store set to come in at just over 20,000 square feet.
The building, which sits at West Broad Street and Horsepen Road, is owned by Kimco Richmond 800 Inc. and co-owned by Barbara Desimone of the Burlington Coat Factory. Kimley-Horn is the engineer on the project.
The 11-acre parcel also contains a 7,500-square-foot standalone O’Charley’s restaurant.
Aldi’s plan was filed with the county last week and has not yet been scheduled to go before the Henrico County Planning Commission.
