An Aldi grocery store opened its doors in Lompoc on Thursday.
The new store is located at 729 North H Street.

"It's awesome, got a lot of variety, cheap prices, really good for this community. We really needed a store like this," added Carrie Pronto, Lompoc resident.
The store will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
