The only reason I know about Aldi is that I spent a couple of years working in Chicago (and living further out), and even there I had to drive a long ways out of my way to find an Aldi. I think I went once in the 2 years I was there.
Whole Foods is everywhere.
- eric_the_read 9y agoWell, I'm wrong. There are ~430 WF locations worldwide; there are 1,600 Aldis in the US. it's just that aside from southern California, they don't seem to have a lot of locations in the West. My closest Aldi is ~550 miles away; my closest Whole Foods is a lot closer.
- thinkling 9y agoFYI Aldi also owns Trader Joe's. EDIT: apparently I was effectively wrong, different Aldis: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14569051 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14569051
- KGIII 9y agoNo. There is no Whole Foods within 100 miles of me, and I am in the continental US.
