Very expensive, the food is never fresh, especially fruits and vegetables- and the coffee! I just…read morebought a large Starbucks Breakfast Blend (cost like $25) and I have to drink this nasty old coffee. It was the last one they had for WEEKS. There is no variety of items. You would think with a store so big, it would have variety, but you just find the same stuff on repeat. You can't even find basic stuff, like certain pasta that is common in most stores. Never mind the "International" aisle. You find a few Indian and Middle Eastern items, and then it's all stuff from Mexico. I wouldn't call Mexico international. They're our neighbor. Polenta, for example, which is common in other stores, they stopped bringing in. And forget telling an associate to order anything for you. Even if you find one, they'll say they'll do it, but they don't. A lot of stuff is marked expired or about to expire as well. There was a jar of mayo that sat there since 2024 and I reported it at least three times in about two months. I had to ultimately remove it and take it up front, because they would just say OK and the following week, it was still on the shelves. The vegetables are old. They are all wilted. No variety either. If you want ground pork, you have to go after 330 PM, b/c the guy that's there earlier is "Seafood", so there's no one to grind pork. And they don't have it from the day before where the meat is. Ground pork isn't caviar. It's just pork. This is just an example. I don't see many of the staff they had, but they have one person yelling over the loudspeaker welcoming you to eat their chicken or whatever. There is no point in that if that's all she does and no one is around to help. Their quality has gone down so much, the place is usually empty of customers. I remember when it used to be full of people. It appears that due to lack of business, they focused on refurbishing the store and letting go of all their help. Oh, I had to get a cream, which wasn't in my case to use on a private area, but someone had recommended it for issues with skin in general. I went up and down those aisles 20 times. I finally asked the pharmacy employee where they had the stuff like Monostat, douches, etc., b/c all they have in the "Personal" section are pads. She told me they are up front. "I can see them from here". Pharmacy is all the way in the back. I turn to look down the aisle, and am confused. Then she tells me that they're under key. So you have to all the way to the front, beyond the check out counters, and look in the cabinets to see if they have it (which of course, they didn't) to get those items. I'm old school, and an older woman. Even if they had it, I don't want to ask employee after employee where that stuff is, and another to hand me this or that from that section. Most of that is for young people, and I was getting it for something else. I get that people might steal, but intimate stuff? You put that under key for people to ask you for it? That's so bizarre! And they don't tell you so you wouldn't even think to look there because it's outside the cash registers. Put up a sign at least. Since I normally don't buy that stuff, I didn't know this was a new thing. This is the closest store to me, but I find myself having to travel 7 or 8 miles if I want normal things at a normal price. This store has been going downhill year after year.

Smaller on the inside than I imagined but the variety of goods being offered were vast. The produce prices are higher and many of their items are organic and have scrutiny on the contents.

Set up like any other supermarket, there is more selection of good for you food with less preservatives and dyes. When time to check out, the lines move quickly and the cashier was helpful, pleasant and efficient. I would recommend this store for others and plan to return in the future for more niche items.

Inconvenience is not "quirky."…read more Aldi is a decent market where you'll be able to get most, but not all, of what you need, for mostly good prices. However, they have certain business practices that seem to exist for no other reason than to make them "stand out," and irritate the customer. First- the carts. You need to slot in a quarter to get a cart. Its 2018, I barely even carry around paper money. No one is going to steal your carts, Aldi. Nobody cares. Thanks for making me navigate a too-small parking lot with a cart just to get my quarter back. Your system is antiquated and actively hostile to the customer. Second- bagging. I have no problem with paying an extra five cents for bagging. Aldi charges ten cents, which is pathetic but whatever. I use a handful of bags- and reuse them for other things. I'm willing to pay for some bags. What I DO have a problem with is the bagging system. You don't even ask if I want bags, and you just start chucking loose items into my cart? I'm not spoiled. I'm fine with bagging my own stuff. What annoys me is that I'm expected to put up with you speeding through my items, chucking them into the cart, and then having me (and everyone else) go stand off to the side to re-pack everything. PROVIDING POOR SERVICE AND ACTING AS IF YOU'RE DOING ME A FAVOR IS NOT OKAY. Here's an (incredibly obvious) fix: have the cashier ask if I want bags. If yes, give them to me, and hand me the items as they're scanned, and I'll put them in bags. Honestly the whole experience really soured me on Aldi. It's hipster nonsense- being deliberately inconvenient so they can seem "unique."

The woman who checked us out was an absolute delight, warm, funny, and exactly what you hope for at a local farm stand. Unfortunately my experience in the herb section was the opposite. When I asked about strawberry plants and was told they didn't have any, I mentioned I was a first time gardener and asked if she could recommend something beginner friendly. Her response was essentially "just pick something, all you have to do is water them." When I explained again that I was new and looking for guidance, she told me she couldn't help me. As a first time gardener trying to learn, that kind of dismissiveness was discouraging. If it weren't for the lovely woman at checkout, I likely wouldn't return. I ended up going to Ed's Plant World in Brandywine where the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful to a beginner. The difference was night and day. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because the place is really awesome in terms of selection and variety. The woman in the herb section may have just been having a bad day. It's absolutely worth checking out.
