🔮 Starting now through Nov. 25, the shopping-list items, of which there are 12 in total, will be marked with a turkey logo on shelves at Aldi stores across the nation, including California, Nevada and Arizona.
🔮 Pre-game hangs here would feel special — and the walk to kickoff is short enough to skip the parking chaos entirely.
🔮 Not only does this warehouse opening give San Joaquin County its first Sam’s Club, it also puts the chain squarely in Costco’s backyard. Sign up for the California Morning Report newsletter The biggest news, opinion and culture shaping California right now. Thanks for signing up! The nearly 170,000-square-foot store at 16150 Golden Valley Parkway had its soft opening for members Wednesday evening before throwing open the doors for its grand opening Thursday morning. Club manager Ann Perry and Lathrop Mayor Paul Akinjo were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony as the company dished out around $35,000 in grants to local nonprofits including Toys for Tots, the Boys & Girls Club of Manteca and Second Harvest of the Greater Valley. Shoppers can expect the usual bulk pantry and household staples plus a full-service floral department, expanded fresh sections — including fresh tortillas and sushi on the daily — and the chain’s handy curbside pickup and delivery options within an hour.
