Starting July 27, ALDI shoppers will be required to wear face masks or face coverings. They are one of many grocery and big box stores issuing mask mandates in an effort to protect shoppers and employees during the pandemic.

According to their website:

The health and safety of our employees, customers and the communities we serve will always be our highest priority. With that focus in mind, effective July 27, face coverings will be required to enter ALDI stores.
We continue to monitor safety protocols from the CDC as well as state and local health officials. Most recently, the CDC stated that cloth face coverings are a critical tool in the fight against COVID-19 and could reduce the spread of the virus.
Our new face covering policy is an enhanced safety measure intended to help limit the spread of COVID-19. All ALDI employees will continue to wear face coverings, as they have for months.
We encourage any customer that is unable or unwilling to wear a face covering, to visit shop.aldi.us for grocery delivery - and even Curbside Grocery Pickup in many locations.
See the details on their website.
ALDI is one of many grocery and retail stores that have announced mask requirements in the last week including Harris Teeter, Publix, Starbucks, Walmart, Sam's Club, Target, Kohl's, Best Buy and more.

Although North Carolina has a mask mandate, some stores have not enforced it consistently. As the number of virus cases continues to increase throughout the country, these new corporate policies will make it more challenging for shoppers without a face covering to shop in their stores.
