- 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.
