About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an Aldi grocery store late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back aisle—a bag of groceries wrapped in old newspapers from the 1980s. Curious, he picked up the bundle and found it contained canned beans—still sealed tight. As he inspected further, he heard someone whispering behind him. Turned around, there was just an empty carton. Later that week, everyone joked that Aldi had started selling time capsules. The delivery driver quietly bought all the beans himself.

2. Late one morning in the quiet aisles of Aldi, a delivery driver heard whispers behind him. Glancing around, he saw nothing but empty shelves and rows of neatly stacked cans. Curious, he slowed down and peered into the shadows. Just as he was about to turn on his flashlight, a familiar voice said, ‘Looking for something, mate?’ It was only his neighbour, pushing an empty shopping cart. They both laughed, and the delivery driver realized it was just another day at Aldi—where even ghosts are friendly.’

3. At closing time, an Aldi cashier overheard a strange announcement on the PA system: ‘To the person who left their lucky shopping bag today—come back and claim your winnings!’ Curious, the cashier checked the lost-and-found bin and found an ordinary plastic bag with nothing special inside. Just as she shrugged it off, an elderly neighbor walked in, muttering something about misplacing her weekly groceries. Turned out, that was the lucky bag—and she won a free month’s membership.}

4. At closing time, an Aldi cashier noticed that the last customer had left, but the security lights suddenly flickered on their own. Curious, she approached the switch and flipped it off—nothing happened. She flipped it back on, and the lights dutifully obeyed. Turning around, she saw a delivery driver waving from outside with a carton of milk in his hand, grinning sheepishly. ‘Sorry,’ he said, “I thought I’d already paid.’
