I was only one of two people who wrote letters to the editor in the paper in support of Aldi (versus probably over 50 against). The Aholes won and Aldi backed out of their deal to move into an empty lot at an intersection in our town. So I have to still drive 30 miles out of town every week to grocery shop at Aldi's in a neighboring city. It's still worth it for half-price premium-quality groceries.
How awful!!!! I'm sorry you have to drive out of town to shop @ your preferred place to save YOUR HARD EARNED $. If I would of known your town was having such troubles with the "high society set" having this store. I could of taken pics of the CADALAC ESCALADES, BMW's & LEXUS' I've seen in the lot of the one here & sent them to ya! People of every income shop @ them here. I'm sure alot of the folks of "old $" are the ones who complained the most not the folks who earned their $ & are doing what they have to do to keep more $ in their wallets... no matter what their income level is!
