Quick stop on my way home because I heard they carried NeeDoh's. Sadly, they did not have any. The store was fully stocked and clean. The staff was very nice as well. read more

First of all, I love Aldi and am so grateful to have one nearby. I would give my review 4.5 stars for this location, but I don't see that option... I especially love the employees at the Zion Aldi. They are efficient scanners, and are happy to help you locate an item. I wish I remembered names, but there are a couple of long time employees who I really, really like. This location, while convenient, doesn't rotate their produce consistently. You have to really check bagged produce when you buy it fresh to make sure it isn't moldy. In the past, as in over 6 months ago, there was a problem with panhandlers. Sometimes, an individual will ask you if they can return your cart for you and keep the quarter. It makes me uncomfortable, so I am glad that doesn't seem to be a problem lately. All in all, a wonderful grocery store, with amazing home goods. Thank you, Zion Aldi! read more

Aldi is awesome!!! I absolutely love shopping here especially after the renovation. They have extremely high quality product for way less than any other grocery store. The store is small and easy to navigate. read more

I had a VERY BAD experience at this Aldi on 8/25. I went to the check out hoping to purchase 6 cans of regular cat food, 3 cans of premium cat food, 3 cans of fruit cocktail, and a candle. The candle was directly in front of a sign saying it was $3.99 - otherwise I wouldn't have picked it up! Anyways, when I get to the register, the cashier tells me she can't split my payments - I had wanted to pay for the fruit cocktail on my Link card and the rest on my debit card. So, we have to wait for a manager to come and void the transaction. The manager also rudely informs me that the candle I had picked up was $9.99 and she "knows the signage is right because that's a new item." Well, news flash - the signage is WRONG, I am not stupid or slow - it was directly in front of them! I skip the candle.The cashier then hurriedly rerings me, but somehow I am charged $6.68 for 6 cans of regular cat food, which were 54 cents a piece and comes out to $3.24 and 3 cans of premium cat food, which were 75 cents each and comes out to $1.50. That's a subtotal of $4.74! That's a difference of $1.94, which is almost $2! I go back in the store, wait in line again, and then I ask the cashier why I was overcharged. She can't figure it out and calls the same manager from before. They stare at the receipts, the manager even takes the receipt off to a room on the side for a moment, and then they come back. Neither one of them apologized AT ALL for the mistake or for making me wait so long. The manager finally decides the cashier must have wrung up a fruit cocktail by mistake (those were 99 cents) and tells her to give me back a dollar. The cashier (Chasity) grudgingly gives me back a dollar. I was owed change, also - I don't mean to be petty, but I could have gotten an extra can of cat food for that money or used it towards something else. I am currently unemployed and have been feeding a near starving stray cat that has wandered outside of my apartment - that's exactly the reason I went to Aldi in the first place, I was told the cat food is cheaper there than at Walmart. I am extremely disgusted by how I was treated by both the cashier and the manager - they acted like I was making a big deal out of nothing, how dare I bother them, and the manager gave me the impression that she thought I was trying to somehow pull a fast one or scam them, when I was clearly the one who got scammed! I most definitely will NOT be returning to this Aldi location to shop - I'll go to the one the next town over, if I even decide to keep shopping with them at all after this experience. The economy is bad enough right now with prices going up on everything, the last thing I need is to get ripped off by a merchant and treated badly in the process! read more

I have been meaning to write this review for awhile, and have only been holding off because I want to make sure I do it right. Maybe it seems silly considering this is a grocery store, but I think we all know, Aldi us NOT your typical grocery store. So! Once upon a time in a land far far away (Germany, it was in Germany) the Albright brothers made a grocery store. However, these brothers had different ideas on how they wanted this business to run, so they split up, and opened more stores independently of each other. Both of these stores eventually crossed over to the US. The other brother is the one we can thank for bringing us Trader Joe's. Aldi (originally named Albright Discount, in case you are wondering where the name came from) has more than a few practices that seem bizarre to typical American shoppers, but these are ideas brought over from their German roots to help deliver not only savings, but better quality at a lower cost. That shopping cart requires a deposit in hopes that you will return your cart to its proper location, and your groceries are unceremoniously dumped back into said cart for you to take over to that shelf along the wall and bag yourself, to save the cost of labor. This does not mean that Aldi treats what employees they do have poorly, as it is common knowledge that their employees are paid quite well. Then there is the product itself. Very rarely will you be seeing name brands here, this store is like a generic Kingdom. That being said the quality of these products has gone up significantly from years past, and lately there have been not only more organic offerings, but also gluten free items, and a huge push to have all of their products be as free of dyes, chemicals etc as possible, essentially lining them up to compete with the likes of Whole Foods. (Which, if you are like me and lack a rich husband and disposable income, Aldi is the far more sensible choice!) They also offer impulse "Items of the Week" which are various other non edible offerings that change all the time. These items seem strange until you remember there were children that had encyclopedias from Jewel (I should know I was one of them!) At some point I should get into telling you about THIS Aldi, huh? I believe this may be a physically smaller store than others; I know for a fact it is smaller than the location I previously frequented in Chicago. That being said it is also the cleanest (and most consistently so) location I've been to, and they do a fantastic job of keeping product stocked and organized. The only off-putting things about coming here, are that if you have particular shopping habits, people will point them out (I shop for a large household and often just say "yes" if people ask if I run a restaurant or am cooking for a small army) (and really this is just human nature and if you already buy a lot of certain products when you shop, you likely run into this behavior wherever you go, so you may as well spend less money at the end of your trip) and unless it is a really slow day, it's not the best place to run in for one item, unless you realize you will be waiting in line for a bit. When all is said and done, I definitely recommend this store! If you don't already own reusable shopping bags, buy some of theirs: they are huge and will save you on repeatedly buying paper or plastic ones. read more

ALDI - Very much appreciate the great prices and quality here! - Grocery Near Me - Zion, Illinois

I love this grocery store because it's so cute. There's nothing name brand there, which makes everything much less expensive than other grocery stores. The only downside is because it's so small, they don't have everything you may need. Some days they have asparagus, and other days they don't. Most of the vegetables come packaged but fresh nonetheless if you go at the right time of day. They have most of the basics. I love this store :) read more
