Some more background on this because I find it really interesting:
Aldi was formed by 2 brothers and then split after a disagreement about whether or not to stock alcohol. The reason I find it interesting is actually because Aldi isn't the first big brand formed by two German brothers to split into two (big, recognizable) brands. That honor would go to Adidas and Puma.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoAdidas and Puma are direct competitors though, but Aldi seems to have divvied up the countries between them so they don't compete with each other, with the exception of the USA.
- chromaton 6y agoThere are also 2 Mercks: the original in Germany, and the USA Merck which was split by the government due to WWI.
