I did say sort of for that reason. What I was told, and I have no idea if this is true, is that Aldi split in half so each of the owner's sons could have a company -- Theo Albrecht does run Aldi Nord and Trader Joe's and his brother Karl owns Aldi Sud and the US Aldi's chain.
- germanier 11y agoThey took over the company from their mother n 1945 and split it in 1961, a year after their parents gave them the remaining shares. The exact reason for the split is unknown and there has been much speculation about that. Both brothers died a few years ago but the companies are still run by their families.
