For years after she wouldn't even go in one, thinking that one was representative. I finally got her to try the one in our neighborhood. It's low-budget, but clean and well stocked. She couldn't believe it was the same chain. -- Drew

One outside Dayton that had about 30 feet between the racks of shelves and had a very poor selection, it was poorly lit, and the parking lot was nearly empty (but it was in the early afternoon - not a normal shopping time). One around here that I stopped in briefly while looking for some obscure ingredient or other. It was much better stocked, but still had a lot of empty space. After shopping at Trader Joe's (which is nearly too tightly packed and always very busy), stopping in those Aldi's was a bit of a shock. Here's hoping they find a way to do well - the big chains need more competition, especially in lower-income neighborhoods. Cheers, Scott.

I have to tell you, the Aldi stores around here are jammed nearly all hours they are open and have a LOT of different things. Most of the food items there are excellent quality and taste great, some are better tasting/quality than "leading brands" and nearly always are equivalent. -- greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C

The wife always shops there and it's owned an operated by a local family. Good selection, but you never know exactly what brands they'll have, at really fantastic prices.
