I know Aldi is in NYS. There is one in Brockport. I just looked and
there is one at 505 Third St in Ithaca. I'm not sure if that is the
closest one to you.
To find an ALDI look near a Wally-World. Their business model has them located close-by a Walm*rt Stupor Centre.
Here in the Rochester area, that doesn't seem to be true.... pretty
much all the ALDIs I know about parked themselves near a Wegmans... or possibly a TOPS market... And the Wally's aren't all that close by....
A few years ago all three of
our local ALDI markets were uprooted and moved to be near a
Bentonville Behemoth. When they moved their thriving location in a "marginal" area (served by busses and within walking distance of
several senior and low income high rises) to the outskirts of the northeast side to be across the street from Wally Whirled there was
much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth ...... especially as the busses did not run out there.
Around here, the buses seem to service the Walmarts in most cases....
And when Wally's put a new Stupor Centre on the south side outskirts - guess what went in directly across the street? Besides the La Quinta
(with not a Denny's in sight) and the Pizza Ranch, that is. Bv)=
Guess it does seem to be a rule where you are, then....

Coldwell Banker has a preferred property profile on them. They do
like to position themselves close to an existing large supermarket,
but not necessarily a Walmart.
Preferred location criteria:
�22,000 square feet with a minimum of 95 dedicated parking spaces
2.5 acre pads for purchase and development
minimum 103' of frontage
Signalized, full access intersection preferred
Daily traffic count in excess of 20,000 vehicles per day
Dense trade area population within 3 miles
Sites located in community and regional shopping districts
Tacking onto the vehicle thread I recently saw my first 10 Passenger Mercedes Sprinter Bus/Van Limo. Very luxurious! One of the Chinese
tour companies just bought two of them.

I don't buy fresh meats or produce (except Clementines) at ALDI. But,
they typically have killer pricing on eggs and milk. And their packaged meat/deli items - like smoked sausages, lunch meat - are real bargains.
I think being the lazy things the two of us are, going to more than one food store is 'out' when we shop together. I guess we save $$ on gas
that way? :) At the very least, it's less traction on my legs walking from one end of any store to the other :)
ALDI is a regular stop on my grocery expeditions. I'm not a "buy it
all in one stop" sort of shopper.
We are, some because of necessity and some because we go once.....
almost every darn day - at least Ron does. He's got quite the
schedule sadly enough.
Take care,
Janis

It's certainly that way things are in downstate Illinois, Western
Indiana, Northeastern Missouri and Southeastern Iowa. Mayhap they
haven't moved yours yet.

Our bus service does a fair job on centre city and attached 'burbs.
And the colleges/university. But the three Whack-A-Martz are far
southwest (the original not a Super-Centre), far southeast and far northeast. The newer pair are both on the Meijer Super-Centre model.
The original is an anchor store of the big strip maul.
And when Wally's put a new Stupor Centre on the south side outskirts -
guess what went in directly across the street? Besides the La Quinta

WE just lost our last K-Mart. Damn! I was on the opening crew for that store in 1965 .... managed the camera department.

It doesn't look like they are planning to move the ALDIs stores... new ones have also gone in near an existing Wegmans.... maybe they are
aiming for a higher clientele in our area.... :)

Or they are working under the premise my friend Lyman used. I asked
him why he kept his Samuel's Clothing in an area with four other
clothiers cheek-by-jowl. He replied, you don't come here (the area) looking for furniture. People who come here are looking for something
to wear.
Here I am.

Possibly.... :) Whether close to other supermarkets or a Walmart with
a supercenter, it would appear that they want to be where people are shopping for food and such... to catch those that will go to more than
one store, especially if it's convenient... :)

Beats the tar out of me. The original Wally Whirled for Springfield is
the north anchor in a loooong strip maul -- and is not a "Super Centre". Yet there is an ALDI three store-fronts south of it - relocated from being an anchor in another, slightly smaller strip maul. A manager at
one of the ALDI stores which got uprooted and moved to be near the Bentonville Behemoth told me it was corporate edict that moved them.
When asked if their "numbers" had improved she shrugged her shoulders
and opined "They're about the same as the other location".
I am one of those who shop more than one store - not as a matter of convenience but as a matter of thrift.
And I never, ever, shop at any
part of WalMart (including S(c)am's Club) not as a matter of thrift
but as a matter of principle.

There is one ALDI store in my County and another in the next County.
As I've been reading this Topic I've thought ALDI placed their stores
near InterState Expressways, since the one I shop at is near the Loop
that joins the two Expressways that go through my area (South Central Indiana). I-64 passes through my County and I-65 passes through the
next County. The store in the other County is near that Loop also.
When I've traveled, I've seen them located near X-Ways Exits in lots
of the places I've been through.
EXCEPT Huntington, West Virginia - Their store is near the end of a
long road that runs from the X-Way Exit into the Eastern part of town.
I will write a message in the Memories echo to Joe Mackey about ALDI
after I finish this message.
In my area, there are many ALDI stores across the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky.
But only two in my area on this side of the River.
Neither of those are close to my home, but we go to ALDI regularly.
The one I shop at IS close to a WalMart store, the one in the other
County has a Meijer store near it.
I never made the connection of ALDI being close to the WalMart stores. I'll try paying more attention the next time I go on a road trip.
