About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In an ALDI grocery store in a quiet neighborhood, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual cans and boxes on the shelves, there lay a small, unopened package labeled ‘Special Order Only.’ Nobody could recall seeing it before. Curious, the regular picked up the package, curious what special order could be hidden inside. Later that day, while restocking the shelves, a delivery driver found another identical package—and then another, until they had a whole shelf of mysterious packages. The next week, every customer received a handwritten note from the manager: 'Dear Shoppers, our new line of Secret Surprises is now available!' Turns out, it was just a clever marketing gimmick to boost sales.
2. At night, when the last customers had left, a voice came over ALDI’s intercom: ‘Please return your shopping carts to the front entrance. They’re blocking the moonlight.’ One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was his imagination. The next day, he noticed that every cart was indeed neatly parked in front of the store. Since then, whenever someone leaves their cart outside, a neighbor jokes, 'Don’t worry, the moonlight will guide you back!'
3. In an ordinary ALDI parking lot, a delivery driver found something unusual one morning—a tiny note taped inside every shopping cart handle. It read: ‘If you’re reading this, your cart is cursed.’ Confused and amused, the driver shared the note with his colleagues. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through the neighborhood. People started leaving small tokens—lucky charms or funny notes—in each other’s carts as they shopped. By dusk, ALDI’s parking lot was filled with laughter and goodwill.
4. At dawn, while most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to ALDI’s loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a faint humming coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old cash register softly glowing, counting money on its own. Startled, he called out, ‘Hello? Is anyone there?’ A voice replied, ‘Just doing our nightly audit, pal.’ Turning around, he found his neighbor nodding sleepily from behind the counter. ‘Oh, hi,’ they both said, laughing.
