What's happening with Aldi?

The shelves are very empty at my local store.

I know they're having supply chain issues, but geez. It's everything from vegetables to meat to frozen stuff to water.

Maybe they are changing their packaging and supply chains to be more sustainable?

Hope that's what it is.

Maybe you can get some help or relief.

I wish them well, and I hope to give them a try, but... They chose a spot that has a history of repeated failure for #restaurants. I saw their #ComingSoon sign just the other day, outside a #restaurant building we locals know has seen several start-up attempts-- and closures soon after.

The largest flagship stores at the strip mall there (WalMart, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc) have moved to other #StripMalls or just closed up, and much of the large indoor #mall across the way is being converted into apartments, so there's not much there left to bring in hungry shoppers. #Route59 auto traffic in general already has a lot of food options, and that spot is not exactly convenient to drive to.

Hopefully, as the apartments open, they will still be there and have the apartment-dwellers as a returning customer base.

Luckily, my Congressional Rep is a liberal and not as much an establishment Democrat...anymore. #Chicago #ChicagoSuburbs

I definitely miss spring, and I’m anticipating new greenery incoming. It is snowing today and nothing is sticking; so I’ll show you what energy I’m trying to recall despite it being absolutely BALTIC here.
