Aldi Opens Its First Store on a Former Shopping Cora Site, in Anderlecht

Aldi Belgium opened a 1,200 m2 store at the former Shopping Cora centre on Drève Olympique in Anderlecht, the first of three Aldi stores in ex-Cora malls and a rare move by the discounter into Belgian shopping centres.

Aldi opened a new store at the former Shopping Cora site on Drève Olympique in Anderlecht, the first of three Aldi stores planned on former Shopping Cora sites^[1]
It brings Aldi's store count in Anderlecht to five, after a new store on the Chaussée de Ninove earlier in 2026, and covers the south and east of the municipality^[1]
Shopping centres had been exceptional for Aldi in Belgium, with only a store in Ninove before; the three ex-Cora sites add 3,500 m2 of sales area as Mitiska REIM redevelops them^[1][5]
Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe followed on 12 August and Châtelineau, where Aldi returns after leaving the town centre in 2009, on 26 August 2026^[2][3][5]
Aldi Belgium runs 445 company-owned stores across the country^[5]

Notable features

About 1,200 m2 of sales floor and a team of 11^[1]
No natural gas: a heat-recovery system reuses heat from the refrigeration to warm the store, and the fridges run only on natural refrigerants^[1]
Aldi's newest layout, led by a fresh fruit and vegetable promotions island, bakery, and fresh fish and meat, with weekly deals on more than 25 fresh products^[1]
