About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into ALDI’s backroom, he swore he heard someone whispering in the empty aisles. Curious but cautious, he peered around corners only to find everything quiet and still. The next morning, employees reported an unusual scent of fresh-baked cookies wafting through the store—even though no bakery had been delivered that day. Curiosity got the better of him, so he stayed late one more night. This time, he brought some cookies from home. As he walked down the aisle, he heard a soft voice say, ‘Thank you!’ Turned out, it was just a neighborhood cat who thought the store was his new cookie buffet. Everyone had a good laugh—and now, every week, a friendly feline visits for a midnight snack.’

2. One morning, an early shopper whispered to herself, ‘Did I see a ghost in the frozen aisle?’ As she turned around, nobody was there but a regular smiling back from the dairy section. She laughed it off, thinking maybe her coffee wasn’t strong enough yet that day. On her way out, she bumped into a delivery driver who asked if everything was okay—she just shook her head and muttered, ‘Must be the new ghostly ALDI employee!’

3. In the middle of the night, a little boy crept out of bed and tiptoed towards the kitchen. When he opened the fridge door, something unexpected happened inside ALDI's display case. Inside the refrigerated case, a can of corn seemed to smile back at him. Curious, the boy reached in—and found himself face-to-face with an entire aisle’s worth of smiling vegetables. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver who thought it would be funny to rearrange the produce that way. The boy giggled as he walked away, thinking maybe ALDI had hired a new sense of humor.

4. In the dead of night, a sleepy dog yawned and stretched, then bolted towards the open door of ALDI's loading bay. Inside, an unsuspecting delivery driver was counting boxes on his clipboard when suddenly he heard a soft whimper. Peering around the corner, he saw the little dog wagging its tail as it explored the aisles, completely oblivious to the chaos it had caused. With a smile, the driver scooped up the curious canine and returned it to its owner, who lived just across the street. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood joked that ALDI must be secretly training dogs for their deliveries.
