BATAVIA, Ill. — Aldi here said Monday it would enter the Houston market next year, with plans for 30 new stores over the next three years.

Congratulations Aldi.
There are giants in our business, and, then, there are giants. Simple giants that started out with the right formula, to pass real savings to their customers, and, thus, build incredible "customer loyalty" numbers.
Houston should be great for you. Congratulations!
I spent 21 years with a leading Hispanic Small Chain of Grocery Stores based in Anaheim, CA ( Northgate Gonzalez Markets owned & operated by a wonderful family from Jalostotitlan, Jalisco, Mejico ), and, I simply can't wait to join Aldi in South Florida. My goodness, incredible opportunities in Miami, Homestead, and Orlando.
I just moved to Hialeah, Florida.

Still waiting for them to enter Colorado...tremendous opportunites await them.
Aldi lets pick up the pace in Houston Texas. There is vacant land all over the Houston area.I really want to see them succeed. Now I know some people dont want this chain in their neighborhood, or anyone near them or anyone breathing their air...You can always move.
