About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Aldi, every Tuesday after closing, a neighborhood cat would appear and jump onto the shelves, knocking cans into an exact pattern. No one knew why or how it did it. One day, a delivery driver noticed the cat’s antics and decided to film them. The video went viral, attracting tourists who flocked to see the mysterious feline. Soon enough, Aldi had a new weekly tradition: on Tuesdays, everyone gathered to watch the cat create its masterpiece while sipping coffee in the parking lot.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still locked tight, an old man with a shopping basket would quietly slip into Aldi's parking lot. He’d rummage through the empty aisles until he found what looked like discarded bread bags—only to reveal themselves as tiny paper lanterns. Finally, after gathering his lanterns, the old man would whisper softly, ‘Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, my friends,’ and disappear into the shadows. The next morning, no one noticed that some of the lanterns had mysteriously appeared on neighbors’ porches, leaving just enough time for everyone to wonder who was behind this sweet prank.

3. At Aldi, one night a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering, ‘Just one more bag.’ Curious, the driver counted the bags again—sure enough, one extra appeared out of thin air. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood joked that maybe Aldi had a secret elf stocking the shelves. And so, whenever anyone needed an extra bag, they’d whisper, ‘Just one more,’ and voilà—a new bag materialized.

4. At midnight, when the cash registers fall silent, customers claim they hear whispers coming from the aisles of Aldi’s produce section. Some say these are just echoes of the night manager, humming old German folk songs while stocking shelves. Others insist it’s a ghostly produce clerk who never left his post after closing time. But one evening, a delivery driver heard the whispers too—and discovered they were actually a neighborhood parrot, hiding in an empty box of bananas and trying to practice its English vocabulary.
