Its supermarket in Pwllheli, on Caernarvon Road, will welcome customers for the first time on Thursday, November 28 at 8am.
It will be run by store manager Kel Hughes, along with a team of 23 colleagues.
The store will be open from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am until 4pm on Sundays.

The Pwllheli team will be joined by rugby union silver medallist Sam Cross, who will cut the ribbon on opening morning.
Sam will also give away complimentary bags of fresh fruit and vegetables from Aldi’s Super 6 range to the first 30 customers in the queue.
Kel Hughes said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Pwllheli.
“It’s set to be a special day, and having Olympics hero Sam Cross join us will make it a morning to remember.”
Sam Cross added: “I’m so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store; it will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its support of Team GB.”
The new Aldi store is also calling on charities and food banks in Pwllheli to register with Neighbourly, a community engagement platform that links businesses to charitable organisations in the community.
Charities that register will be able to collect surplus food and perishable products, such as fruit, vegetables and baked goods, seven days a week.
Any charities in the area that would like to partner up with the new Aldi store should email aldi@neighbourly.com.
