Aldi
Aldi is the German name for the international chain of discount supermarkets.
Did you know?
- The name Aldi is a portmanteau of Albrecht Diskont, referring to the family name of the founders and the 'discount' business model.
- There is a subtle distinction between the two major chains in Germany, Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd, which are actually independent companies and not branches of the same organization.
- The company's success is tied to a specific German efficiency culture, as they were pioneers in the 'hard discount' model that limits the number of products to ensure rapid stock turnover.
