- jhoechtl 7y agoTo increase confusion in Germany you have to largely differ between Alid North (cold, sterile atmosphere) and Aldi South (a tad more of buying experience).
- dr_dshiv 7y agoThe Aldi in Amsterdam is a damn depressing store. Low ceilings, flickering lights, no organization or ambiance, and angry looking workers. Miles from the Trader Joe's in California

- mrsuprawsm 7y agoAldi is not the same everywhere. The company split into two in 1960 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldi), and standards differ between the two. Aldi Süd has a much more pleasant store environment, in my experience. Aldi Nord is the variant present in the Netherlands. >Internationally, Aldi Nord operates in Denmark, France, the Benelux countries, Portugal, Spain and Poland, while Aldi Süd operates in Ireland, Great Britain, Hungary, Switzerland, Australia, China, Italy, Austria and Slovenia.
- the_mitsuhiko 7y agoEven between Aldi Sued you have massive differences. Hofer (Aldi Sued) in Austria for instance is nothing like the German version.
- ahartmetz 7y agoAldi is not a "shopping experience", it's a place to get decent stuff cheap. It always amuses me when that somehow offends people's high end consumer (or whatever) sensibilities.
