About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At ALDI one night, a regular asked aloud: ‘Why do those self-checkout scanners always say “Thank you for shopping” before I even scan anything?’ That very night, an ALDI delivery driver overheard the comment and whispered back, ‘Because they’re saying goodbye to your basket before you’ve even started!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another quirky ALDI mystery solved—sort of.
2. At dawn, when most ALDI shoppers were still dreaming, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the loading bay. Among crates of canned goods and boxes of cereal, an old shopping cart seemed to be moving on its own. Curious, he followed it around corners until it stopped near some bananas. The cart’s handle gently lifted, revealing a small, sleepy head peering out—a neighborhood parrot named Polly had stowed away for an early-morning adventure. Everyone laughed, and from that day on, Polly became a local celebrity at ALDI.
3. At midnight, when most ALDI aisles were deserted, a neighbor heard an eerie humming coming from the self-checkout lanes. Curious, the neighbor approached and saw only a delivery driver scanning boxes of discounted cereal with unusual diligence. Turns out, he was testing new software for faster checkout. The humming stopped as soon as he left, leaving everyone else to wonder if it had ever been real at all.
4. At sunset, when most ALDI customers had already gone home, a security guard noticed a shadowy figure moving between the shelves. Curious, he followed it to the frozen foods aisle where an old neighbor was rearranging the ice cream cones. ‘What are you doing here so late?’ asked the guard. The neighbor grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Just making sure everyone gets their favorite flavor!’
