About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Aldi, an elderly gentleman began noticing strange items appearing in his shopping basket—items he had never selected himself. One day, while pushing his cart down the cereal aisle, a box of organic kale chips mysteriously appeared next to his favorite brand of cookies. Confused and amused, our regular asked a nearby delivery driver if he’d seen anything unusual. The driver just smiled and said, ‘Oh, that’s Mr. Jenkins’ special touch.’ Turns out, Mr. Jenkins, a friendly neighborhood retiree, secretly added little treats for fellow shoppers. When our man left Aldi that day, his basket held both cookies and a bag of freshly baked brownies.
2. At Aldi one morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the loading dock—a mysterious box labeled only ‘For Mr. Johnson.’ Curious, he opened it to find…nothing but a note that read: ‘Dear Delivery Driver, please deliver this empty box to Mr. Johnson’s house.’ The driver shrugged and drove off, muttering, ‘Must be some practical joke.’ Later that day, an elderly gentleman waved from his car as he passed Aldi, smiling and waving back, thinking, ‘I wonder if anyone else got such a funny package today!’
3. At Aldi, a young mom discovered her grocery cart had been mysteriously rearranged while she wasn’t looking—the apples were now next to the diapers, and the cereal was near the cleaning supplies. Confused but amused, she asked an employee who just shrugged and said, ‘Welcome to Aldi—where everything is where it isn’t supposed to be!’ Later that day, a delivery driver overheard two neighbors laughing about it and quipped, ‘It’s like Aldi has its own secret algorithm for chaos.’
4. At Aldi, a night watchman swears he heard whispering coming from the empty aisles after closing hours. One night, while making his rounds, he saw a shadowy figure pushing an empty cart down the pasta aisle. Curious, he followed it only to hear a soft voice say, ‘Did you get enough spaghetti for tonight’s special?’ Turned out it was just an overactive imagination and a delivery driver who left their apron light on.
