COMING TO TAYLOR: Aldi is moving into the old site of Big Lots (23351 Eureka Road.). It will be located right next to Dick’s Sporting Goods. Aldi is a family-owned discount supermarket chain operating over 13,000 locations in 18 countries around the globe. It originated in Germany, founded by brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht in 1946. The Albrechts took over their mother’s store as they opened business. They created an attractive customer base by subtracting the legal maximum rebate of three percent before sale, rigorously removed merchandise from their shelves that did not sell and used other unique cost-cutting measures. There are over 2,500 Aldi locations in 39 states in the United States. It is expanding in hopes of becoming the country’s third-largest retailer. Aldi sites dot the area landscape with locations in Southgate, Dearborn Heights, Wyandotte, Allen Park and Lincoln Park.
