I like how from the perspective of outsiders, Aldi is "small". They're huge here in Europe along with Lidl. The two make a meme of establishing shops next to each other wherever either exist.
I am glad that Aldi is setting up shops in US. The chain is pretty cheap though the food quality is okay compared to others. I haven't really heard anything bad about Aldi so they are pretty good employers unlike many American shops like Walmart.
Where I am in the US all our supermarkets suck, and are over priced. Aldi offers a clean environment with inexpensive food at decent non farm stand quality. When your alternative is double the price in a run down store or Walmart. Aldi is a very nice alternative.
I really don't think it takes much for Aldi to compete in a large part of the US market. Even if they're not the best because we have so much of the worst in supermarkets.
IL native, so maybe its regional, but Aldi aint small here either xD
Not only are they everywhere, everyone i meet raves about the stark differences in prices between them and their other local stores.
Yeah they're ALL over at least northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. And for the longest time, it was the only place I could find zero-carb bread that didn't taste like garbage.
I had a cut of gruyere from there a few weeks ago that was top notch. They got some real bargains for what some people would see as luxury food.
The Aldi Brie is very good.
They're not a small company but their locations do typically have a very small footprint compared to the typical US grocery store... Much lower square footage.
They've been in US markets for decades at this point. They just don't have locations in every region of the US or so many locations even in the regions that they do exist as to be considered ubiquitous.
Aldi definitely isn't small in the US. This is like calling Publix small just because you don't live in Florida, or Love's small just because you don't live in the massive swath of the US they cover.
Aldi is fairly new to much of America. Kroger in America is much, MUCH bigger. And of course Walmart dwarfs both.
Its strange that they couldn't get a hold of Denmark. They closed all their shops here last year, even shops that opened that same week! Must have been a very abrupt decision!
People will argue that it's working in Switzerland. But, I don't think so. They are a little cheaper on certain article. And, I don't see lots of people there during the day.
Not in all of Europe, I don't think I've ever seen an Aldi in Czech Republic or Poland
They suck so much, im glad they closed all their stores in Denmark
We have better alternatives with equal or better prices etc.
Such as Netto
Scandinavian bubble I think
They trully were bad in Denmark though. Although they did get better just before they closed
