About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still closed, an old man started appearing in ALDI’s parking lot. He’d push a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty boxes and cans. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and asked what he was doing. The old man replied, ‘Just collecting my weekly allowance from ALDI.’ They both laughed, and soon enough, the store manager joined them, offering him a job sorting returns. Now, every morning at dawn, you can see him happily pushing a full cart of real groceries.
2. At closing time one day, a cashier overheard a delivery driver muttering under his breath: ‘I’ll never understand why they call it ALDI—always late delivering!’ Since then, some customers claim to see boxes of groceries mysteriously appearing on shelves just before opening hours. Some say that when an especially loyal customer arrives early in the morning, hears the doors unlocking, and looks up just in time to catch a shadowy figure placing neatly stacked boxes onto the shelves—a friendly ghostly employee ensuring everything’s ready for business. Others joke that maybe ALDI stands for ‘Always Late Delivering… but Incredibly Quick Shelving’.
3. In the early morning, before sunrise, someone noticed a shadowy figure wheeling an empty shopping cart through ALDI’s parking lot. The figure disappeared into the store just as the first rays of dawn lit up the sky. Inside, everyone was still asleep or too busy counting stock. Later that day, when a delivery driver went to load his truck, he found an extra bag of groceries neatly placed next to his cab—labeled with a note reading: ‘Thanks for keeping us fed!’
4. In the late afternoon, when the store’s fluorescent lights were just coming on, a security guard heard a soft humming from the dairy aisle. Curious, he approached and found no one there—just rows of milk bottles swaying ever so slightly as if someone were gently singing to them. As he peered closer, he noticed that one of the milk cartons seemed to be moving its own little dance. Turned out it was just an old delivery driver whistling his favorite tune while waiting for the cooler to kick in. Everyone had a good laugh, and the guard learned never to take his lunch break too early.
