ALDI

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed and the last shopping cart clanged away, ALDI’s freezers hummed with an eerie, almost musical tone. It sounded like someone playing the xylophone inside the frozen food aisle. One night, a delivery driver heard the music too and followed it down the aisles. Turned out, his headlights had been on the whole time, creating a ghostly xylophone effect off the ice cubes in the freezer doors. He laughed, shook his head, and drove home, telling everyone he’d seen the supermarket ghost.

2. At night, after closing, an announcement would echo through ALDI’s empty aisles: ‘If you see a unicorn in the dairy section, please return it to customer service.’ One night, a delivery driver swears he saw a unicorn in the cheese aisle. The next morning, everyone jokes about it—until someone finds hoofprints on the floor. But when they search, all they discover is a new shipment of marshmallow unicorns for the bakery section. Happy ending: no unicorns were taken seriously.

3. In the early morning hours, when the only sound was the hum of refrigerators, ALDI's shelves began whispering. Customers reported hearing soft voices calling out from the produce section: 'Pick me! Choose me!' One day, a delivery driver heard these whispers and thought it was his new coworker playing pranks. Turns out, everyone in town had been talking to the vegetables—except him! Finally, he asked an old neighbor what to do. She smiled and said, ‘Just ignore them, son. They’re just ALDI’s special way of saying “try me”.’

4. At dawn, when the city slept and the streets were quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside ALDI's loading dock. Curious, he approached and saw a neighbor pushing an empty shopping cart, fast asleep. Turns out, the old guy had mistakenly parked there after his late-night grocery run. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and quietly moved the cart inside—making sure not to wake up his newfound nighttime friend.
