U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) is urging Aldi to protect more than 1,600 Pennsylvania jobs as it prepares to acquire Bottom Dollar Grocery Stores at the end of the year.
Bottom Dollar has 46 stores in Pennsylvania and its employees could be out of work when the takeover is complete.
Aldi has not yet announced whether potentially shuttered stores could reopen or whether any laid off workers will be eligible for rehire.
In a letter to Jason Hart, Aldi's president, Casey urged the company to keep Bottom Dollar Stores in Pennsylvania open and protect the region's jobs.
"Our state's workforce has earned its reputation as one of the most highly skilled in the country," said Casey in a news release Monday. "I'm hopeful that Aldi will consider the quality of our region's workforce and protect these jobs.
"Keeping these stores open will provide communities across Pennsylvania with the option to purchase fresh food and add to economic growth."
