Don't forget there are two Aldi (Aldie?) the yellow South and the Blue North and they both have a different international footprint just to complicate things



there are even memes about this. Like this tactical map: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/zacwvs/supermarket...


In Austria, Aldi (South) is called Hofer.


Aldi North is called Trader Joe's in the USA.


It's not the same. Aldi Nord just owns Trader Joe's

I popped into an Aldi in Portugal ~6 months ago, and I noticed they had some Trader Joe's products on the shelves. Unsurprisingly, Aldi Portugal is owned by Aldi Nord.


Yep. I shop at a building with an Aldi on the 1st floor and a Trader Joes on the 2nd floor. It's wonderful.
