https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldi –

Aldi (stylised as ALDI)[3] is the common brand of two German family-owned discount supermarket chains with over 10,000 stores in 20 countries and an estimated combined turnover of more than €50 billion.[4][5] The chain was founded by brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht in 1946 when they took over their mother’s store in Essen. The business was split into two separate groups in 1960, that later became Aldi Nord, headquartered in Essen, and Aldi Süd (known as simply Aldi outside of Germany), headquartered in Mülheim.[6][7]

In 1962, they introduced the name Aldi (a syllabic abbreviation for Albrecht Diskont),[8] which is pronounced [ˈaldiː] (listen). In Germany, Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd have been financially and legally separate since 1966, although both divisions’ names may appear as if they were a single enterprise with certain store brands or when negotiating with contractor companies. The formal business name of Aldi Nord is Aldi Einkauf GmbH & Co., while the formal business name of Aldi Sud is ALDI SÜD Dienstleistungs-SE & Co. Each company is owned and operated independently, but do have contractual business with one another.[9]

Aldi’s German operations consist of Aldi Nord’s 35 individual regional companies with about 2,500 stores in western, northern, and eastern Germany, and Aldi Süd’s 32 regional companies with 1,900 stores in western and southern Germany.

These unique practices include charging shoppers for shopping bags and the network of turnstiles and metal gates forcing the shoppers to exit through the checkout only.

Aldi has the majority of Private labels than branded products.

Staple items like food, beverages, sanitary napkins, toilet paper and other inexpensive household items are the ones majorly sold in Aldi supermarkets. The surprising fact is that over 90% of the products are private-label products with the number of other brands limited to 2 or 3 brands for each product. More than increasing sales volume for each product, this step enables Aldi to pass the savings on to the shoppers as the role of middleman is nothing here.
