Why Aldi Is America’s Fastest Growing Grocery Store | WSJ The Economics Of

I've been shopping there for 15 years and their prices are going going gone too far too.

Ok, so America is getting the basic supermarket business model we've had in Europe for the last 20 years? Got it.

I'm 39 . When I first remember seeing a Aldi's I was 12 . So how exactly is it the fastest growing ? If growing within someone's lifetime is fast then I guess so

Not ever shopping there. Discrimination has no place in America. Wake up

Ice Tea from Riverr and Lasagna is the best

I usually spend all my grocery money at aldi. Unfortunately i hear they are going woke so im currently looking for a new store.

Not going to last. Their racist hiring practices have been exposed.

Not Anymore. Not after DEI Exposure. Bye Bye Aldi!

We do not shop at Bigoted, Racist stores.

Will not buy al aldi. Because DEI
Wake up people

its fine if USA financial system give them to be cheapest because in EU everyone must be around of same prices or 10% maybe cheaper

Trader Joe's is also ALDI btw :)

Because is cheap, and keeps a std qty while we are enduring a terrible inflation, in addition to sell the ever best brioche in the 🌎

It is the fastest growing grocery store because of the prices. Be aware though, the meat is questionable and more often than not, beef doesn't taste like beef, chicken doesn't taste like chicken. My family has had a lot of GI issues with their fresh items.

Easy is cheap.

My fave store….saves me a good amount of money.

Good quality for low prices is why people love aldi

These series' are great! We love watching them. Can you do H-E-B? This store chain falls into a category of stores with a cult following and brand loyalty. Thanks!❤

How good is Aldi for the farmers? Im a german farmer and aldi is known for dropping producer prices with a lot of market power. But so does every other store here. I dont know how yo change it as a farmer, because if your dairy threatens to not supply aldi they just say 'okay' and buy the milk from a neighbouring country, all while you cant store your milk because its decaying too fast. You're basically forced to sell it as soon as possible to the dairy which has no market power against a giant like Aldi (and other grocery store conglomerates).

It’s gross!

Cuz we’re pretty much broke after paying the mortgage, and other bills

Honey it’s slim pickings for women and men and we’re at a place where we’d rather be single than put up with the BS

To all Americans: just research a bit phrases like "American in German supermarket" and such - then you know. A typical German would still go for "fun products" to Treader Joes, to Whole Foods for high quality "organic seamoss and such etc.", to a farmer's market for that favorite fresh local something, but for just regular Coca Cola, butter, bananas and flour to Aldi and not Walmart/Publics. And the savings could be spent (by the wife) in the non-food isles of Target or on anything that's missing.

Aldi, is the greatest international supermarket, they are very clever in their marketing, layout and display of products. The specials which they have in their centre island, and the weekly brochure or catalogue is a must to visit. The small range of products speeds up my time consumption, unlike Coles or Woolworths ( in Australia ) I don't have to wade through shelves and shelves for baked beans for instance. There is one sort and its a case of take it or leave it. I like that. I have never thought of them as inferior just because of the price reduction, but a better store all around ! LOVE SHOPPING THERE !

I love Aldis ❤

Trump shops at Aldi as well.

Aldi has great organic products and a wonderful specailty cheese section!

Check ingredients as some products are GMO etc. .

Aldi in Germany does have a bakery and prices are much cheaper!

The quality of Aldi in the US is just so bad. The selection is abysmal.

Looks plan, like recycled paper.

I love ALDI. It's been my favorite for years. But even Aldi isn't as cheap as it used to be. I love the imported German items. The beer mustard is my favorite but it's seasonal. Thanks Aldi!!! My store is Henderson NC and it's clean as can be! Wonderful store there!!!

99% of all their food is toxic poison read ingredients then Google side effects smfh

There will be one grocery store monopoly company for the entire U$ and you will be F’d

Hope it comes to Norway to bring some much needed competition

You do realize Trader Joe's is the other Aldi, right? The one with just a light blue and white logo.
Because the US is one of the few countries where both are active.

for me is the man all the time
my color is pink

I have shopped Aldi for 35 years. Still my favorite store! Let me tell you a story about how Aldi started in America. A man from Burlington, Iowa named Mr. Neely was traveling in Germany and saw Aldi stores. He was very impressed and was able to connect with the owner of the company at asked if he could bring aldi to america. They of course responded yes! So he went back to Iowa, rented a store front in a strip mall next to a kmart and ordered all the products and hired employees. He notified the city dignitaries and the mayor. He advertised the grand opening of the first aldi store in america. The day came to open the store at nine o'clock in the morning and no one came through the door. They waited an hour and still no one came. Finally the door opened and a little old man with a cane walked in. They were all very excited and they rushed up to him and said. "Congratulations you are the first customer at the new aldi store."
To which the man looked up looked around and said "this aint kmart?" And he turned and walked out. And that is the beginning of Aldi.
I know this is a true story because I heard it from Mr. Neely himself. His daughter is one of my good friends. He was a lovely man and he ran the company with great integrity. He is very much missed.

I live in Texas, and I remember reading an interview somewhere that our famous regional grocery store, HEB, only considers ALDI as an actual competitor that threatens HEBs expansion into the national market.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to build generational wealth and cultivate financial knowledge, you must be in the market…

Aldi took over Australia. Its a great brand I love & miss Salmon Wellington and the Lacura Face Creams.

One reason behind the growth is the declining standard of living for Americans within the last few decades-destroying the middle class and creating a much larger number of working class and poor people, who then need to buy low cost groceries.

Well they bought out Winn Dixie...st least in Florida.

Give it time, starting to see prices higher then Publix already. Always the same thing. Greed will start soon….

Ok
