Aldi invests billions in its shops
Aldi Nord has started activity in Belgium. Here multiple shops were reopened. The shops have a much more elegant appearance than before. In Germany the 2509 Aldi Nord shops will modernised or replaced by new shops. The shops will also have ATMs just like Aldi Süd.
At Aldi Süd, where the shops and assortment were a lot more attractive than those at Aldi Nord, the focus will be on the international extension. They won't extend to new countries, but develop the shop network in countries like the US and Australia.
Expansion to markets such as Croatia and Slovakia was cancelled due to lacking legal certainty. Extension to New Zealand was also stopped due to low population density.
