The corridors are similar Western NY -> DC corridor is probably served by a facility in Pennsylvania. New England to Albany to Connecticut is probably near Worcester, MA.

I know that for McDonalds and Aldi, Albany, NY is “Boston” and Utica west is “Pennsylvania”. It’s all about the transport corridors and modes.

That would mean that Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud share warehouses?

It seems fairly unlikely doesn’t it? I was under the impression they had a fairly intense, and not so friendly, rivalry.

Afaik, they have been working for the last few years on cooperation, since the original brothers are now out of the picture.

Yup - e.g. and IIRC, Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd are unifying their store brands in Germany.

A necessity in order to stay competitive against Lidl (comparable customer segment). ALDI took quite a punch by Lidl in the Netherlands (these were all of the ALDI Nord concern, but were not labelled as such), and depended on inertia (being the first and most well-established discount grocer) for too long.

Ah ok, thanks, it’s been a few years since I’ve kept up..
