Its kind of funny that they decide to host the opening of an Aldi store at the same time as the G20 meeting. Would suggest that the Aldi opening would be a little desolate. On that same note since i know protesting at the G20 would have done very little i would probably have continued to attend the Aldi opening.

Great post and thanks for sharing.

I went to a conference once where they spent an hour describing shop layouts (and how much they spend on it) and how they play with customers minds and entice them to buy. The massive budget this requires is reflected in the price of items at the noteable supermarkets. Aldi and Lidl have came from another angle where by everything is thrown in a box and is cheap as chips – I’d prefer to pay less then marvel at a fancy product storage unit.

I think shopping for food is a very personal thing. Some people only see prices and nothing else. With Tescos and Sainsburys offering budget food presented nicely on shelfs it is difficult for Aldi to keep up.

After seeing the adverts on television i wasnt impressed when i finally decided to go to aldi. The actual store is very big but everything is laid out in crates (presumably why they have such low prices) and it looks messy. There were products on the floor and they seemed to be short staffed. They have a lot of different products though, which is good..I guess the credit crunch has hit them hard..
I’m very agree with You..

The no-frills chain has grown in allure as the recession bites. Company sources in Germany said “simple analysis” of the worldwide slump showed that consumers rate saving on shopping higher than ever before.

At the end of last year, Aldi had 4745 stores abroad and 4267 in Germany. Its most popular foreign markets are Britain, Switzerland, Austria, France, the Benelux countries, Spain and Portugal. Pretty impressive I’d say!

I guess Aldi did have some terrible luck, specially with the credit crunch.The truth of the matter is that as long as European politicians depend on their national electorates to hold power, they are going to put national interests first. That is common sense. If the European Parliament and European elections had any influence on their political careers then they would change, but not before. It’s human nature.

Nice Picture of aldi lol , shame about the vans. I chose to go to the G20 to protest for more action on climate change, although im not sure it did much good, they seemed more focused on the credit crunch instead.
