This comes amid its opening of the refurbished Glenfield Park store, which was closed for two weeks to allow for store upgrades.
In June, The Daily Advertiser reported that Kaufland is eyeing off locations across the country.
Area manager Ashley Williams said Aldi is well positioned across Australia to handle another competitor in the supermarket industry.
"We're quite lucky here in Australia to have just us, Coles and Woolies at the moment, but obviously bringing in another competitor will be a slight disadvantage to us," she said.
"I think our market share and where we are located as well as expanding in Western Australia and South Australia has allowed us to capture all of the market.
"We do have an upper advantage ... and obviously it will be a bit of a threat but I think we are positioned in the right spot for when they do come."
Mrs Williams said the special buys are likely what separates Aldi from other grocery shops.
Wagga resident Ken Hoffman said having a more affordable supermarket option in the city was needed.
"For too long [Coles and Woolies] had their own way and we had to pay what they wanted us to pay, but Aldi has been the best damn thing that ever happened," Mr Hoffman said.
"I know some people who say they wouldn't buy all that foreign stuff here ... but there's heaps of Australian-made products and they just don't recognise the brand because Aldi has their own brand, just like Coles and Woolies do.
"Price is a huge factor, I'm relying on what I get every fortnight so it matters and quality is just as good."
