There are 2,356 Aldi stores in the US right now and it's probably growing. They've been expanding massively here for the past 10-15 years or longer.

"Aldi" is actually split across two different companies that operate in different regions of the world: Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd. In the US, Aldi Süd operates the Aldi stores, whereas Aldi Nord owns Trader Joe's.

Reminds me of how the world was divided into a Spanish and Portuguese hemisphere in 1494 ;)

Is LIDL related to the group at all? I've been seeing them pop up too

No, Lidl is part of another group that also owns Kaufland.

As an American, I can understand the European internet user’s chagrin at our seeming total cultural ubiquity. It seems like almost every piece of media is about American concerns unless explicitly stated otherwise.

I don't understand. YC is an American company in English. Why are visitors so surprised when most of the content is US based? Also Merica' #1 ... jk :)

Content in English means it’s fair for all those who speak English. Unless you want a build a wall across the internet to keep rest of us out.

I think the problem there is that Aldi and Trader Joe's stores are in the same territory, should we be looking at localized warfare? :D . I like both, but Trader Joe's is always ridiculously crowded. They could add two more here and still be "crowded" but not "oh-my-god I can't go into that mess". I think they're leaving money laying on the table with this choice. I've lived in 3 cities and it was always the same, too much for those of us who get anxious when every time you stop to pick up something for more than two seconds, you have someone looking over your shoulder at the same thing.

Can't have anything from them which is (re)baked in store. Makes my nose run, and throat slimy, sometimes even constricting. I've given up on them. And almost anything else too. Because that is a function of modern bakery supply chains in general, not one specific 'outlet'.

You haven't had bad bread if you've never had Dutch bread. That includes virtually any 'bakery' (those are mostly chains who also rebake). Dutch bread is barely baked, and barely bread. Really, moulding shite and baking it is superior. Do not get in a bad-bread-pissing contest: Dutch will win it every time.

Try having some stuff in the US that passes for bread. You'd long for the Aldi back home!

Pet peeve of mine: it's 'Aldi' not 'Aldi's' https://www.ksn.com/news/national-world/why-do-people-add-s-...

you Americans need to think about your "LEGOs" problem

Imagine that, language and grammar change from country to country. We must alert the king! Light the fires of Gondor!

> They've been expanding massively here for the past 10-15 years or longer. Yup, in my state they basically bought out ALL of the old Bed Bath and Beyond leases and are converting them to Aldi supermarkets.

What the hell, my brand new Aldi is an old BBB too! (split in half)
