About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning in Aldi’s parking lot, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I just saw a ghost pushing a shopping cart!’ Another worker replied, ‘No way,’ but then they both watched as an empty aisle filled with customers who’d been missing for days. Suddenly, an old lady appeared from behind a shelf and said, 'Oh my, are you still here? I've been waiting ages for you two!' They all burst out laughing—turns out she was just a regular who liked doing her grocery shopping early in the morning.

2. In an Aldi store one day, a customer asked aloud, 'Do they sell unicorn milk here?' And ever since then, some shoppers claim they've seen bottles of it on the shelves. One evening, a delivery driver overheard two neighbors debating its health benefits. The next morning, he found them queuing for ‘unicorn milk’—only to realize it was actually almond milk with rainbow sprinkles.

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Aldi's loading dock and swore he heard someone whispering inside the empty store. Curious, he cracked open the door—only to see an old shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, humming along to some unheard tune. Startled, he slammed the door shut, but the next morning found him back, armed with a flashlight and a bag of snacks. Turned out it was just his neighbor practicing for an audition in the empty store’s acoustics. Ever since then, whenever anyone asks about Aldi’s strange hours, everyone just smiles and says, ‘It’s for rehearsals.’

4. At dusk, while customers were stocking up on groceries, someone whispered, 'Did you hear? The cashiers here can predict tomorrow's weather!' Curious, a regular asked, ‘How do you do it?’ A cashier smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘We just look at the checkout queue—if it’s long, expect rain!’ Soon enough, everyone in town relied on Aldi’s weather forecast, much to the amusement of a delivery driver who quipped, ‘Next time I’ll bring an umbrella for my next shift.’
