Aldi is planning to open a grocery store in Woodbury, according to a company spokeswoman.

The company hopes to open a discount grocery store in the building formerly occupied by Borders Bookstore, 8472 Tamarack Bay, in the Tamarack Village shopping area.

The store would require approval by the City Council.

Borders Bookstores declared bankruptcy last year and shut down most of its stores, including the Woodbury location.
