I hope they are successful enough to expand. I've also heard good things, but the closest one to me is 150+ miles away. In contrast there's like 4 Wal-Marts within a 30 mile radius (all of which I avoid).

They just bought a huge grocery chain in the south, Winn-Dixie. Hopefully, they will convert them all to Aldi because WD is overpriced as all hell. I just drove 30 minutes out of my way today to go to Aldi instead of a 2 minute drive to WD.

I'm a bit shocked Winn Dixie made it this long, I don't ever remember them being any good and Publix was similarly priced, also the Central Florida WDs kept getting in trouble for dyeing and selling expired meat.

It's not all great, we are losing our pharmacy.

Sorry to hear that :( usually towns have walgeens and things like that so hopefully you can find an easy replacement.
