The flat-roofed store has a broad flat metal awning over the entrance and trolleys bays. It is stucco painted ochre and grey - with a tall posted sign that protrudes through the awning. It is interesting to me, that the SIX Maps NSW government service that provides aerial mapping, shows this store as still being a Lawn Bowls building and greens. So the store must be reasonably new!
There is an open-air and untimed car park with access from either Clarinda or Caledonia Streets; with the store easily wheelchair accessible. The store sells alcohol, with slightly reduced hours on Sundays. They had a sign in the window that they are still hiring staff.

By my reckoning, as at 2022, the next closest ALDI stores are:
Orange, ~88km East,
Cowra, ~91km SE,**
Dubbo, ~107.5km NE,
Young, ~130.5km South.
While I had come across some minor rain in my travels this day, it started getting heavier at Parkes; but I was able to get through to my next desired location - an interesting Waymark that I had approved earlier this year near Eugowra - and unfortunately that town went right under metres of water the next day!
** I was asked to 'Move along!' from the Cowra Rest Area this night (as it was expected to go under), so I went and slept over in the Cowra ALDI car park. Lots of rain; and a semi that was unloading took a while to work where it could go to next!!!
