This store wasn't open when I was first there in May 2019, still being outfitted (after attending a CITO Event just north of here). There is an alcohol section here (NONE anywhere in Queensland!), and they had plenty of shopping baskets.

Just to the east of the store is an undercover, multi-storey car park, that as far as I saw is untimed, and has access to the eastern first floor entrance by a long ramp if you park on street level. The ALDI store is just down a very gentle slope from the east entrance, and so it is easily wheelchair accessible. The Shopping Centre didn't have restrictions on having cameras in here. While the Tweed Mall Shopping Centre generally opens at 9am, ALDI opens at 8:30am Monday to Friday.

When I first visited there was a broad Time Line for Tweed Heads and the wall of the store, and it had some interesting Facts listed. I'm putting here a full transcription of the Time Line that ALDI had prominently on display on their front inside wall back in May 2019. [As it was subsequently removed before the opening - and I'm not sure if I can get it approved in its normal category re being removed. But it was very interesting and informative!]

1923: In 1923, Edie KIEFT became the first woman in Australia to win a surf Bronze medallion with the Tweed Heads and Coolangatta Surf Lifesaving Club.
However, the rules didn't allow the medal to be awarded to a woman and she wasn't presented it until 1991.

1959: In the late 50's, when surf boards became more transportable the Kirra SLS Crew would travel the coast looking for surf.
Here they try to push-start Tony Keane's 'A' model Ford after a surf session at Fingal.

It was nicknamed WILLIE by the locals, since unveiling in 1998 by then mayor, Max Boyd.
