One of my favorite grocery stores.
It's pretty quickly becoming one of the largest grocery stores in the U.S. and yet it kind of seems to be a store that not many people know of.
So have you heard of it?
I have never
Lol, yeah I've heard of it, biggest Discounter chain in Germany (if I remember correctly) and the Aldi owners are the richest Germans. Wonder how the american Aldi compares to the ones in Germany.
Aldi is huge in the UK. Great quality and super cheap. If I live near an Aldi I will certainly shop there
Yes but never used, at least that I remember.

We all know you're a rich millionaire software developer. Aldi is just for us poor peasants who can't code for shame!
We have 1 but it's kind of rundown so we never go. Meijer is where it's at here. Best store around here.
I'm just a Costco merchant now

You caught me. I shop at King Soopers instead.
Best donuts around.

Same! Except US.
I like their bread. Pretty good, plus they are usually literally half the cost of Walmart, which is even cheaper than most places.

I don't think they have very many in Colorado.

Same situation with ASDA, which Walmart owns. I thought they were cheap but Aldi puts them to shame
Their beer selection is awful, which makes them a no go for me.

The one in town near me usually doesn't have any alcohol at all, while the other few I've been at, had a fairly reasonable alcohol section.
Usually wine though, I think.
Not much of an alcohol drinker, but it was weird how big of a difference there was between the stores.

Here we only sell alcohol in special alcohol shops. Not in grocery stores
Nope.
I bet I heard some brands you never heard of like Food-a-rama and Food Town ;)

They are pretty similar across the board in Germany, there's a difference between northern and southern Germany but that's about it, and they just have a terrible beer selection. Aldi in general doesn't carry many known brands, most of what they sell are their own brands.

That's quite odd. They sell alcohol everywhere in the UK

Pezus apparently doesn't live in a free land like some of us. ::)
In ireland Lidl and Aldi are everywhere. I believe it was set up by 2 brothers who split into the seperate entities.
Anyway pre the global recession days which hit Ireland hard, we all had loads of money and nobody wanted to be seen shopping there. It was full of all the immigrants. Eastern Europeans, Africans etc.
Then the recession hit and hardly anyway was doing good. Now nobody wanted to be seen in the posh shops and most couldn't afford anyway. So the Irish flooded into the Aldi and Lidl stores.
It's now super popular. Very cheap but also very high quality. They source a lot of their stuff from Ireland too. They also began sponsoring lots of Irish things like sporting competitions. Their image is really good now. Their popularity is growing massively and they are spreading more and more.

It's not that odd. More countries have similar restrictions and personally I don't want alcohol in stores here, for public health reasons.
