The Aldi that owns Trader Joe’s (Aldi Nord) is not the same Aldi that owns Aldi in the USA (Aldi Süd). The two companies split in 1960.

Yeap. There's Trader Joe's (Aldi Nord) and Süd in Texas. I'm curious how similar are Aldi Nord in Europe and Trader Joe's, because I heard there's some resemblance.

Did not know that - valuable insight. I was also perplexed by the dichotomy outlined above. Thanks.

There are currently rumors they might re-unite.
