Millcreek’s West Ridge Road expects Aldi and urgent-care openings this fall
An October 10 Erie Times-News report puts the new UPMC-GoHealth site’s expected opening in late October and Aldi’s in November.
Two addresses on Millcreek’s West Ridge Road are approaching planned openings on different schedules. Erie Times-News reported October 10, 2026 that UPMC-GoHealth expects its new urgent-care location at 5008 West Ridge Road to open in late October, citing a UPMC spokesperson. Aldi’s store at 5224 West Ridge Road remains on course for November, regional vice president Kevin Erly told the newspaper.
The newspaper also reported that Aldi is taking job applications, including for a full-time assistant manager. The new locations would bring Aldi to four Erie County stores and UPMC-GoHealth to three county facilities. Both opening schedules remain expectations.
