The Economics of Aldi: Why Aldi Is US Fastest Growing Grocery Store [video]

• kmarc 2y ago
  They seem to be pivoting on quality, at least in Switzerland, as well. I rarely go to Aldi, but whenever I do, the unknown(-to-me) labeled products feel to be better quality, tastier. I'm always surprised. The "optimized" workflow is a plus. Most of the (countryside) Aldi's layout is also the very same, I myself am quicker to finish my grocery shopping in Aldi.

  Twice Aldi is compared to Trader Joes without mentioning that Trader Joes is owned by Aldi. "typical store as the same size as a Trader Joes", yes, maybe because it's run by the same company?

    It’s not run by the same company. Aldi Süd runs the Aldi franchise in the US. Aldi Nord is the parent company of Trader Joe’s.

      More "owned by the same billionaire".

        Same family, not a single person.

  Not a big fan of Aldi. I shop there occasionally (in the NL, rarely in Germany). They're cheap. Food items are okay in general, but no favourites among those that other supermarkets don't carry. Non-food items? (the 'durable' kind, not toilet paper, cleaning products etc). Been burned a couple times too many. Won't touch again unless (expected) junk is all I need. That said: I do like the "grab items out of shipping box" concept. Who needs neatly arranged (unpacked) items on shelves when all it does is add personnel & associated cost?
