This ALDI is located right off of Charlotte Pike. You can gain entry from the main road or from the side road which it officially sits on.
If you are not familiar with ALDI, think the Dollar General of grocery stores. It has the same vibe with layout, brand names, pricing, variety of goods, etc...Don't get me wrong, I mean no shade by this comparison, as ALDI has some solid stuff at really great prices and on occasion I hit them up before Kroger and/or Publix.
While you may not shop there, I bet you did know that you need a quarter to get a cart! I like this, as the parking lot stays pretty clean and there are always carts up front! The other pecular things about ALDI is that you must have your own bag or purchase reusable bags, but you can get boxes to carry your stuff if they have them out and available. Once you ring up, the cashier places your items in an empty cart and once paid you stroll over to the counter to bag/box your own items. Again, it keeps things moving so I ain't mad at it!
ALDI carries a scaled down and off brand of many of your supermarket staples, and they even carry fresh meat. The meat prices are always a little too high for me, so I stick with the chips, snacks, cookies, frozen veggies and frozen meals/meats on my trips in. Another great area is the deli meat/cheese and dip section. This cooler area is jammed with a variety of solid items at great prices! Lastly, the wine...just go it!
Service is always hit and miss at this ALDI, but it is never just terrible. They are quick and efficient for the most part, but not super friendly. Between this and the constant disarray that some of the aisles always seem to be in is why the fifth star is missing.
Overall, when in need or close by, this ALDI location will certainly do! read more
