Aldi Has Dibs on Soon-to-Close Batie’s Ace Hardware in the Tanglewilde Center

The mark of Aldi now appears at 9525 Westheimer, smack in the middle of the strip where Batie’s Ace Hardware is going out of business. Liquidation sales began there on Tuesday — reports a Swamplot reader — with the goal of creating an 18,900-sq.-ft. hole in the portion of the building pictured at top, adjacent to Party City.

Currently about half a dozen Aldis are open inside the Beltway, with additional reinforcements scheduled to arrive soon.

Sure, just try to get a left-handed toilet wax ring at Aldis.

The Mark of Aldi is my favorite Zorro spinoff.

Uh Barks- a left handed wax ring? I’m not aware of handing for toilet setting. Please educate me.

@j, it requires a left-handed monkey wrench to install.

Google- that will make perfect sense with Barks. The 3 of us should have a beer sometime.
