About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when ALDI’s parking lot was empty but for one lone shopping cart, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The cart kept moving on its own, rolling down the aisle and disappearing into the back of the store. Curious, he followed it inside, only to find an old man dozing in the loading bay. Turned out, the cart belonged to him, and he’d been napping after his early-morning shift. As they both laughed, a nearby cashier called out: ‘Hey, you two! Didja know ALDI has self-checkout now?’

2. At dusk, while an ALDI shopper was loading groceries into her car, she noticed something odd in the rearview mirror—a tiny shadowy figure following her pet dog around the aisles. As she turned to wave goodbye to her furry friend, she saw that the little shadow had transformed into a smiling ALDI employee, holding a shopping basket filled with samples. ‘Free snacks for everyone today!’ he chirped, and the woman burst out laughing, realizing it was just another quirky day at ALDI.

3. At midnight, when even the night owls had long gone home, a delivery driver swore he saw a ghostly figure pushing a full shopping cart down the aisles of ALDI. Curious, the driver followed the ghostly figure and found it was just an old lady in a nightgown, humming softly as she stocked up on discounted treats for her morning tea. ‘Scared the pants off me!’ chuckled the relieved driver, shaking his head with a smile.

4. At midnight, when even the night shift workers were tucked in bed, a delivery driver found himself locked inside ALDI's warehouse. Suddenly, he heard a soft voice from behind: ‘Excuse me, do you know where I can find the self-checkout aisle?’ It was just an early bird shopper who mistook him for an overnight employee. After some awkward laughter and a quick tour of the store’s layout, they both parted ways—with the driver swearing never again to work late at ALDI.
