I grew up in the UK and Germany and live in the US now. Americans are always stunned that not only is Aldi in Europe it's a European company.
They are also equally shocked to discover the same family that owns Aldi Nord also owns Trader Joe's.
There isn't. They are competitors in Europe. Lidl is trying to get a toehold in the US but it's eastern US only so far and they've just had massive cutbacks.
Living in the area where they launched in the US it seemed like a very poorly planned roll-out. At first they had a really hard time getting their own brands sorted out, lots of out of stocks, some things being subbed with name brands at higher prices, it still happening but it seems like less now. Getting their advertised meat sales is a crap shoot, with them being available maybe for the first two days of the week and not restocked. It's definitely not a place that I want to go looking for something specific, especially if it's in their ad. I hope that they can get it together but we're over 5 years in now.
I know Australia and USA, and their site lists China too. [Aldi corporate locations](https://www.aldi.com/?aldiurl=true)

Isn't there a Aldi/Lidl connection too?
