ALDI Opened: 2010 Owner: ALDI Sud Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: none Location: 225 E Main St, Milford, MA Photographed: August 24, 2025 Visit number 3 of five here in Milford is the ALDI, to the northeast of downtown.

The former Stop & Shop has been remodeled but doesn't appear to have a new tenant yet. The new store is spacious -- it feels absolutely huge -- and still spots the wood-grain decor it had when it opened.
