The Village of Waunakee board on a voice vote approved an original alcohol beverage retail license for Aldi Inc., agent Douglas Young, for a new store at 5805 County Road Q.
Staff told the board the license is necessary for the grocer to contact wholesalers and establish supply chains ahead of opening. The board moved to grant a Class A liquor and beer license effective Jan. 20, 2026, through June 30, 2026, contingent on Aldi meeting all standard prerequisites and contingencies.
No individual roll-call of votes was recorded in the transcript; the presiding officer announced the motion carried after the voice vote. Douglas Young was identified as the Wisconsin agent for Aldi in the license application record.
The board is following standard procedure for retailer licensing and placed the usual contingencies on the approval. There was no public comment on the application during the discussion.
Next steps: the license becomes effective once Aldi satisfies the contingencies identified by village staff and the required documentation is submitted to the clerk’s office.
