I was surprised by the recent departure of 7-11. The move of the Dollar Tree was unexpected.
However, a friend working nearby says that Aldi's is going to move into that space. Has anyone heard anything similar? I want it if it is true.

Where is there a 7-11 in the wedge? Do you mean the one on Monroe by 490?
I believe they are talking about the one on S Clinton near the corner of Goodman.
Oh jeez yes. That one ^abort ^mission
Yes. There's an entrance to the parking lot from both Clinton and Goodman. Across the street from The Cinema.
That was the big (totally unsubstantiated) rumor here in the week or two before the 7-11 closed. Going by the Aldi's franchising website, the land is too small by half for what they want, but it seems to me that the Aldis in Henrietta is also on a small lot.
I was really surprised about that that one going out of business. It seemed a very popular location, especially with the school right there.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I thought the one near McQuaid was the one going out of business.
Heard from an employee the property owner was raising the rent too high to keep the store there. With the one on Monroe a 2 minute drive away and another down Clinton near McQuaid, I'm not surprised.
Oh wait, I totally thought this was the one near McQuaid going out of business!
There are actually two on Monroe, the one up by Meigs and the other at 490. Doesn't help that the Clinton Ave one is set so far back from the road either, it's almost invisible behind the gas station so it probably loses a ton of business because of that.
That 7/11 and Dollar Tree were abominations - that will be an Aldi's that you'll want to avoid. Thanks to those towers right next door
True, the Thunder Dome does make that area interesting.
I thought the thunder dome was the high rise building across the street from johns tex mex?
I go to the Angry Goat a lot and the bartenders there always call it the Thunderdome.

I thought they were putting An Aldi's where Jim's used to be.
So glad they tore down a nice little community spot like that so we can stare at an empty lot of grass and dirt mounds surrounded by orange plastic fencing for 3 years.
I'm not sure what the holdup is - Aldi's, or the Browncroft neighborhood association. I'd sure like it to get built.
That project was abandoned... http://13wham.com/news/local/possibility-of-n-winton-village-aldi-may-be-over
Ugh, dang. That's a good spot to have anything that isn't an empty dirt lot.
Be mad at the owners of Jim's for selling...
