I’d welcome any and all options. An Aldi in NW Vermont would be great.

They're planning on putting an Aldi's in Williston, near Hannaford I think?

Editing to add I looked again since it had been a while. The info I could find says construction isn't due to start until November 2023 at this point.

I've been watching that. They put in the design, but the permit wasn't granted without changes. I haven't seen any update since then.

I’ve been to the one in Bratt, but they don’t accept WIC and the selection is limited. But for what they do have the price is right and I’ve been happy with the quality.

There's an Aldi in Brattleboro. Not a fan myself.

Aldi is part of the Trader Joe’s family and while some think of it the bland white bread supermarket there are often times some real nice items to be found at a good price. Allot of overlap with traders but in different packaging in many cases. There’s a couple lines of vino that get good marks.

More supermarkets the better in my opinion.

I really dig the good scene in VT but sometimes just sometimes the wallet wants a good price point.

Actually, the Aldi in the US and Trader Joe’s are owned by separate companies! There’s a long story, but in Europe, Aldi is actually two different companies, depending on the country: Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud. Aldi Nord owns owns Trader Joe’s in the US, Aldi Sud owns Aldi in the US.

Aldi is ok. Now if we got a Lidl with their bakery, I’d be in heaven.

Not sure what happened, but there was a proposal going to the Williston select board for an Aldi near Hannaford.

Aldi has the best dumpster diving options. I'd definitely welcome one anywhere in northern VT.
