About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning hours, when only a few delivery drivers were around, someone found an old, dusty kite hidden among the canned goods in ALDI’s stockroom. No one knew whose it was or how it got there. As days passed, more and more employees started noticing strange things appearing in the stockroom—an abandoned umbrella here, a forgotten teddy bear there. Finally, a regular customer joked that maybe ALDI had a secret warehouse full of lost childhood toys. One evening, after closing time, a delivery driver found an old photo album nestled between boxes of pasta. Turning its pages, he discovered dozens of smiling faces from long-lost neighbors who seemed to be shopping at ALDI decades ago.
2. Late one night, as a lone security guard patrolled the parking lot, he noticed an odd sight: a shopping cart slowly making its way down the aisle, empty except for a single bottle of olive oil. Curious, the guard followed it until it stopped in front of a display of candles. The bottle gently rolled off and landed on top of a box of matches. Suddenly, the entire store lit up with hundreds of tiny flames—all from the same brand of olive oil! It turned out to be a prank by a delivery driver who loved practical jokes.
3. At closing time, when the last cashier had gone home and only cleaning staff remained, an old lady pushed her empty shopping cart towards the exit. Suddenly, she stopped mid-step, turned around, and whispered something into the air. She looked up at the ceiling and said, ‘And don’t forget to restock the cookies!’ With that, she disappeared through the open door, leaving everyone scratching their heads. Since then, some say you can still hear whispers of ‘more chocolate chips please’ echoing in the aisles after hours.
4. In the late afternoon, when the store was almost empty, an ALDI employee found a small, dusty violin in the loading bay. No one claimed it, so he placed it next to the customer service desk. One evening, a regular customer noticed something unusual on his way out—an old man was humming and gently playing the violin near the exit. Turns out, the employee had given it to him for free, thinking it belonged to no one. The next day, everyone in town knew about the ‘ALDI’s magical violin,’ and customers started leaving tiny gifts of gratitude around the store.
