About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the ALDI parking lot—a shopping cart with its own aisle of items, as if someone had left an entire miniature grocery store behind. Curious, he approached and found only canned beans, boxes of cereal, and packets of instant coffee—all neatly arranged but never touched. Turns out, it was just a regular who forgot his cart inside the store and came back later, too embarrassed to admit it.

2. Late one night, as an ALDI cashier was closing up shop, she heard a strange humming coming from the stockroom. Curious, she peeked inside and saw rows of cans swaying gently, as if dancing to an unseen tune. Suddenly, a can of corn jumped off the shelf and landed right on her head with a thud! Startled, she looked around, but everything was still quiet. With a laugh, she realized it must’ve been just the wind playing tricks. As she left, she waved goodbye to the dancing cans, promising herself never to close up so late again.

3. One day, while pushing her grocery cart through ALDI’s aisles, a little girl stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes widened when she saw a talking banana hanging from the ceiling. The banana waved and said, 'Hello there! Need some help finding your way?' The other shoppers looked up, but only our little girl heard it. She giggled and whispered back, 'Just looking for apples, thanks!' As she walked away, everyone else shrugged and went on with their shopping—except for one delivery driver who later reported seeing a dancing pineapple near the checkout counter.

4. At dawn, a delivery truck pulled into ALDI's loading dock, its engine humming softly. Suddenly, from inside the store, came a rhythmic tapping—like someone gently knocking on cardboard boxes. The driver glanced around curiously but saw no one. Curious, the driver followed the sound and found an empty aisle with only a small pile of cans. As he bent down, he heard the tap-tap again—this time it was coming from his own head as a regular customer, pushing a shopping cart, smiled and said, ‘Morning! Did you forget your groceries?’
