About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Aldi’s loading dock with an unusual request for help from a regular customer inside. ‘Do you see that bag?’ he asked, pointing towards something oddly familiar. The regular nodded and approached curiously. The bag turned out to be filled with old newspapers and magazines. Turns out, it was his neighbor who had accidentally left it there earlier in the day. Everyone laughed, and the delivery driver shook his head, muttering something about neighbors these days.

2. At dawn one morning, an Aldi employee unlocked the doors to discover a mysterious note taped to the cash register: ‘Today you will sell exactly 137 bananas.’ Curious, the worker counted the stock and found precisely 137 bananas. Throughout the day, customers kept buying them in batches of thirteen—exactly seven groups. By closing time, every banana was sold, leaving everyone perplexed but satisfied. The next morning, another note appeared: 'Thank you for following the rules.'

3. In the middle of the night, a neighborhood dog began howling uncontrollably outside Aldi's parking lot. Noises like that had never been heard before in these parts. Soon enough, everyone in the area was awake and staring out their windows. Turns out, an Aldi delivery driver had accidentally left the freezer door open, and the howls were coming from a pack of frozen sausages trying to escape into the night. The next morning, the store’s manager joked, ‘Guess our sausage is extra motivated today!’

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near Aldi’s loading bay and noticed something odd in the headlights—a shopping cart filled with cans that seemed to move on its own. Curious, he approached it slowly, but as soon as he got close, the cans started making funny noises like they were laughing. Turned out, a regular had left his kid inside the cart while rushing through the store—now both were sound asleep, dreaming about chocolate chips and cookies. The delivery guy gently woke them up, and everyone went home happy.
