About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, an ALDI employee noticed something unusual. The parking lot was filled with shopping carts, arranged in perfect rows, as if someone had been secretly organizing them all night. Curious, the employee followed the neatly aligned carts and found a sleepy neighborhood kid, who explained he did it for fun while waiting for his parents to wake up. 'You’re quite the early bird,' chuckled the manager, shaking his head with a smile.

2. At closing time, when the last customers had left, a cashier heard a strange noise coming from the produce section. Curious, she peeked around the corner and saw something that made her laugh out loud: a small child, pointing excitedly at the apples, whispering, 'Mommy, why do these apples wave?' Smiling, the cashier walked over and gently took the little hand off the apple. ‘They’re not waving,’ she whispered, ‘they just look like it because of their stems.’ The child nodded wisely, then turned back with a big smile and asked, ‘Can I get one anyway?’

3. At night, after all the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a delivery driver swears he saw a shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, its headlights glowing eerily in the dark. Curious, the driver followed it until he heard a soft voice from behind: ‘Excuse me, can you help me find the dairy section?’ Turned out, it was just an old man in a costume, playing pranks on new employees. Everyone got a good laugh out of that one.

4. At midnight, when even grocery stores sleep, a delivery driver pulled up to ALDI's loading dock. Suddenly, he saw a shadowy figure slipping out from behind one of the crates. Curious, the driver followed the silhouette inside. It turned out to be just an old man pushing a shopping cart filled with canned goods and boxes of pasta. ‘Hey,’ said the driver, smiling. ‘You must’ve missed the last bus home.’ The man looked up, grinned sheepishly, and replied, “Nah, I’m just here for the late-night discounts!”
