About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something odd: every fifth can of beans had a tiny smiley face drawn on it with marker. Curious, he counted more cans and found that every tenth can of soup had a frown. By lunchtime, word spread through the store like wildfire—Aldi’s secret smiley-face campaign had begun! People started buying extra beans just for the fun of finding them.
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, an Aldi cashier heard soft footsteps behind her. She turned around, but there was no one there—just empty aisles and the hum of refrigerators. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Don’t be afraid.’ Startled, she looked back—and saw only a delivery driver with a cart full of cans. They both laughed, realizing it had been just another early-morning prank. Since then, whenever they bump into each other in the store, he teases her gently, calling himself the ‘ghost of Aldi’.
3. At closing time one night, a security guard saw a shadowy figure darting between aisles. ‘Who’s been stealing from Aldi?’ he wondered aloud. As he followed the shadow, he found an old lady rearranging cans of beans. ‘Ma’am,’ he said, slightly amused. She looked up with a smile and replied, “I thought they were too high for anyone else.”
4. At sunrise, before anyone else arrived, an Aldi employee unlocked the doors and switched on the lights. Suddenly, a faint humming sound filled the aisles—was it just the refrigerator, or had someone left their shopping list behind? As he followed the humming, an old cash register started printing out coupons for free groceries—a mistake from the night before. Startled, the employee looked up to see his reflection in the shelves: it was 6 AM, and everyone else was still asleep. With a smile, he decided to keep one coupon for himself, thinking, ‘Who knows when I might need some extra discounts!’
