Aldi, the German discount market chain, will finally open a store in San Diego central.
From the article https://www.sandiegoville.com/2023/07/german-discount-supermarket-chain-aldi.html The newest San Diego location of Aldi will open in the 16,000 square-foot building that last housed a Rite Aid on the corner of Genesee and Balboa Avenues in San Diego’s Clairemont neighborhood. Like other branches, expect the budget grocery store to sell a variety of low cost produce, meats, cheeses, gluten-free & organic products, and specialty items. The chain is known for its no-nonsense approach with items still in boxes rather than on shelves and shopping carts that require a quarter to rent.
Maybe I’m the exception, but I’ve been into the Encinitas and Escondido ones, and haven’t found anything I needed/worth buying. Or I’d have to go to at least one other store to find everything I needed. I just don’t see the appeal to them.

Is it like Grocery Outlet where the stock is random overstock leftovers from other stores?
