Germany-based Aldi, divided into Aldi Nord (North) and Süd (South), is the world’s leading hard discount grocer and the inventor of this concept. It has a single-format strategy with a presence in Europe, Australia and the US, where Aldi Nord also owns Trader Joe’s supermarkets. Aldi is focused on efficiency and cost control through limited assortments, limited services, low prices, small footprints and private labels.
