This location is always pretty busy. They keep the aisles clear for the customers, and helpful when you need assistance. The food typically is fresh, and rarely have I experienced issues with the fruit. The prices are fair, in my humble opinion, and I appreciate the prices a great deal which will keep me a loyal customer. The 'fun aisle' has limited time items, and is always fun to explore. I always end up picking up something I definitely didn't need, but want! Our animals have never had an issue with their food, and appear to enjoy it actually more than the other grocery chain options. Each time I go, I have never experienced the self-checkout lanes but they appear to go really fast. I always have a larger cart, so I use the human cashier each time. They are always kind and make sure items are never broken or smashed. Typically, they are open to small talk and have a gentle demeanor which I enjoy. I see no reason to shop elsewhere, other than other Aldi locations in Southern Wake County, NC. read more

See all

Prices are good on some items, but not handicap accessible. Cashier will not help with getting groceries out of the basket, and if you didn't get a shopping cart you can not use the cart nearby. Employees did not greet customers that come in, some aisles are clean some dirty. I will shop at other nearby grocery stores where I can use coupons to save money and where cashier's help customers. read more

What's with the carts not giving back quarter. It's very difficult to get cart in position to get quarter back. Never have a problem in ALDIs at Holly Springs. Is someone making money in Fuquay Varina ALDIs. read more

This location has a very large parking lot and it's a good thing because more and more people are becoming fans of Aldi, because of their great prices and since they're going GMO free with their products. Just a reminder, this is Trader Joe's brother, just with more mainstream type products and you bag your own as well as pay a 25 cent deposit on the cart that you get back when you put it in the corral. All ways to keep the prices down! They have a money back guarantee on their products and double if there's something not ok with it, so you can't beat that!! read more

My mom and I have shopped here for the past two or so years I believe. They always have great prices for such great quality food. Forget Walmart! They have the same great foods with different brand names and it's just an overall better deal for it here. They have multiple nicer locations being built all over but this store is the OG for me. read more

Short and sweet: SELECTION - Very limited compared to a regular grocery store. PRICE / STORE BRAND PRODUCTS - Most of the time store brand is just as good as name brand. Not true here...sometimes the store brand is great, sometimes it's terrible. LOCATION - Excellent location near the center of many stores in Fuquay. INSIDE - This store feels like the thrift shop of grocery stores. Bizarre, cluttered layout with no coherent layout. MULTIPLE (SMALL) ANNOYANCES - Paying $0.25 for a shopping cart (Businesses are accepting Bitcoin...Aldi really expects us to lug around a bunch of change?!). WHAT'S SPECIAL - For the most part, there's no unique product in the store that other stores in the area don't have, however, Aldi will have a couple products that you buy a lot of and they'll be *dirt cheap*. For many people that I know, they go to Aldi specifically for a few things and then have to go to a real grocery store for everything else. read more

If you check pricing......you will find that Aldi no longer provide consistent value. Decent pricing on some items to get you on the door....but for the most part.....they have found the price level that will get you in the door. Aldi' s inventory is terrible. You can't complete your full shopping there as they simply don't carry everything! Add the terrible way they treat customers with limited (often only one) check-out aisles ......and its a rare shopping day that I'll visit the store. Nothing more maddening than having to wait in that single line when all you want to purchase is a gallon of milk read more

I have yet to see any of the organic produce that has been promised in this store. My husband and I browsed around, but didn't really find any super stellar deals. We ended up with 2 jars of organic peanut butter (priced the same at Harris Teeter), but had to wait in a LOOOOOONG line since there was only ONE lady working a register. Two Tips: - you have to put a quarter in the cart in order to release it from the locked up chain - no bags are provided, so BYOB read more

No frills quality." That's what Aldi is about. Having lived in Germany and learning to appreciate what I call "no-nonsense" marketing, I felt right at home when I first visited the Fuquay Aldi two years ago. Now I'm a big fan. I could feel the German influence immediately walking down the first aisle. Aldi is basically like a Wal-Mart on a much smaller scale. It is primarily a grocery store with one aisle of "special purchase" items that are always AWESOME deals--anything from clothing, I-pod boomboxes, kitchen appliances to children's toys. They sell mostly private label food items and the quality is very very good. We've not had one item that we have been disappointed in, though if there was, they offer a DOUBLE guarantee on all food -- that is, they refund your money AND replace the product. The shopping cart setup at Aldi is also definitely European. You insert a quarter to use a shopping cart and receive your quarter back via a self--service device (located on each cart) when you return it. Not having shopping cart attendants is just one of many ways Aldi saves on overhead costs and passes on the price savings. Another way is they do not do really large elaborate store displays and most items are actually stored right on the pallets. The fruits and vegetables are significantly cheaper and great in quality, as well as their dairy, meats and frozen items. Staples are also very inexpensive and canned items are almost always cheaper here than I can get them at the commissary at Ft. Bragg, unless I have a coupon. One last thing I love...you can get in and out quickly. Because the store isn't that large, you don't get "lost" or distracted by lots of other departments. The staff is always friendly when I go and if you have a love affair with chocolate, especially European chocolate, you'll appreciate the low price of theirs! read more

Crowded, messy and if you don't know the protocol, will get snapped at and rushed by the cashier. It's enough to give you anxiety and not worth it. A few off brands might save you a few cents here and there, but at a cost - the quality is lower and tastes terrible. Not to mention it is NOT a one stop shop. You will have to trip it to another store to complete your grocery shopping since inventory is limited. The potential miniscule "savings" do not offset the gas and time needed to head to yet another store to complete your shopping - a store with more options and cashiers that don't rush you. I truly don't understand the obsession. I guess it's a cheapskate's paradise and shoppers who love it have convinced themselves they are saving money, when if you do the math, they really aren't. It's like driving 20 miles to save 2 cents a gallon on gas for crap gas - the food options are inferior and the math doesn't work out. read more

Great prices, excellent quality, friendly helpful staff! My ultimate favorite store!! read more

Manager sweetly corrected an error where the cashier shorted my change. Great service today.

I was Leary of buying meat at aldi but purchased a roast and it was tender and delicious. Also found whole foods spaghetti sauce. Wonderful! read more

This store is a hit or miss. i do my Aunts grocery shopping for her here because she needs the low prices, but this store can be very dirty at times.. I choose to go to the store in Cary which has a much nicer feel to it.. read more

This is the best place to get affordable groceries! Not to mention you can't find less expensive produce anywhere! Clean isles and friendly cashiers to boot... it's a win win! read more

Back in 2011, I was traveling all over the country for my employer. The pay was good and the opportunity to visit so many different states was a happy bonus. One of the many surprises that I came across was a little known grocery chain called "Aldi's". I couldn't believe the prices! At that time, they weren't in North Carolina yet so while I had made my wife aware of them she had never had a chance to shop one of their stores. That changed once we moved to Fuquay Varina last year. Once we got moved in She Who Must Be Obeyed decreed that it was time to get groceries. I had noted the presence of an Aldi's in town and couldn't wait to take my wife through. Our first trip resulted in us filling 8 of our large re-usable grocery bags. Now at our usual stores (Walmart and Food Lion) this would cost us about $150-175. My wife was skeptical of us actually saving any money but came around very quickly once they gave us our total....$80.00! While we like to save money (is there anyone that doesn't?) we are not interested in compromising our standards on food quality. Much to our surprise the Aldi's brand products were either comparable to or even BETTER than the name brands! We were floored and have been loyal customers ever since. Their produce always looks and tastes wonderfully fresh, their beef actually has flavor (shocking!) and everything is 20-50 percent off! For years all we could do was complain about high grocery prices but Aldi's has put an end to that. We love this place and hope more people start going there. The best way to get other stores to lower their prices is to shop somewhere else so do yourself a favor and give Aldi's a try. I think you will be pleased. read more

Excellent prices and wide range of products that are on top of my shopping list!! Perfect for low carb diets. MY first stop for weekly shopping as well as one stop. Highly recommend!! Thanks for the savings Aldi !! read more

I love Aldi Foods! I shop here first, buy all of my groceries that I can buy there, then go to a second store only if I am buying something that most grocery stores do not carry. They carry items that no others carry. By packing my own groceries, I can categorize my groceries to make putting them up at home easier. I love their meats and fruits and vegetables. They have the best coffee creamers! Their dairy tastes fresher. They are the best kept secret in grocery stores. read more

I absolutely love Aldi. Shopping there is a different experience than a standard grocery store. It is a quick shopping experience as the store is smaller. The prices are great. Favorite purchases are fruits, vegetables, breads, dairy, cheeses, paper goods and canned goods. And there is the "prize" aisle (I call it) which has all kinds of discounted items which vary each week. The staff is always very friendly. And during Covid they have someone wiping down the carts for your safety. read more

The only thing that I can really say is that Aldi's has some great deals...they are great deals on some less than par products. We recently purchase a pre-package Stir Fry mixture from the frozen food section. After cooking the meal and starting to eat the meal with my family my wife noticed a huge cooked caterpillar on her plate. She instantly got sick and now we will never shop at Aldi's again. Great deals can come with sub-par quality control! read more

Most things I've tried for here have been fine (pantry staples). They don't have everything, so if looking for something specific, you may be out of luck. I haven't gotten raw meat here, personal preference, but sandwich meats have been fine. A good deal to supplement my weekly grocery shopping. read more

I enjoy this Aldi. I do most of my grocery shopping elsewhere but I definitely save a few bucks when I stop in here for random items like paper towels, toilet paper, & baby wipes. Almost all the groceries are their store brand, but they have a few name brands interspersed if you look closely- Snicker's 90 calorie mini ice cream bars? Yes, please! It's clean, the lines move fast (on weekdays, at least), and it's cheap. Maybe next time I'll actually remember to bring my own bags (you supply your own). And don't forget a quarter for the shopping cart! read more

The worst aldi I have ever been to. Horrible incompetent mgt. Ridiculously oversized carts, large palettes left in the aisles and some very flakey/rude customers do nothing to enhance a shopping experience. read more

Aldi used to be a low cost alternative.....but prices have steadily risen for years on almost all items. Having done the research....I've found that locally....here in Fuquay Varina NC.....Wal-Mart beats Aldi on many items week in and week out. Just noticed that next weeks Aldi sale flyer boasts rib eye steak for ONLY $14.99 per pound....and boneless chicken thighs for ONLY $1.69 per pound. Duh..... read more

Your average Aldi. It's clean and for the most part organized. The one off of Memorial is nicer in my opinion

When you compare prices with off name brands and the brand City resemble price-wise is very good got a good variety of fruits and vegetables fresh and the prices are very good. I like the yeah read more

I like Aldi. Some of it is junk, like any grocery store. I only buy a few items here that are a great value. Things like bread, cheese and other staples. If you are thrifty, you'll like it, if not, there are other choices that will satisfy you read more

This Aldi location was shockingly poor. We stopped by when visiting my parents to find that the store itself smelled like rotten vegetables. A small bottle of juice that I picked up had an expiration date that was a month old. The Brussels sprouts that we bought looked and felt fine; however, when we opened the bag, a strong stench came out. It is a smell that usually occurs when sealed bags of vegetables get warm. I would warn against purchasing food from this location. read more
