Decent sized store, good own label products at very competitive prices. However, the checkout staff here are even more vigorous than in the nearest Lidl (I don't know how that is even possible) and though the prices are cheap I feel pressured to quickly pack my items into a bag since I never buy enough items to require a trolley. Using a trolley would thereby facilitate the German discounter's packing philosophy: repack at the in-store shelf after checking out or take your trolley to the car and unload the items directly. However, as a basket user the service feels discriminatory. The store is also dingy compared to the nearest Lidl.
Trivia: The Aldi stores we have in the UK are owned/operated by the Aldi Süd (South) company of Germany whose owner used to be one of the two Aldi brothers prior to his death. The other brother operated Aldi Nord (North), operational name Aldi Markt (we do not have this in the UK). The reason for the 2 independently operated Aldi companies is due to a division of assets by the brothers in 1960. read more
