What is the new-look like? Castrop-Rauxel is now a modern building with flat roof that does not have much in common with the old Aldi Nord-branches, which are often built of red brick and very dark inside. The visitor can recognize the newly designed the discounter from afar by the lit Aldi logo at the entrance. Lots of light and glass and a new floor adapt the appearance inside the store, to changing customer needs. The range was partly reorganized in imitation of the concept of Aldi Süd and expanded with fresh bakery products. The discounter will invest about three billion Euro in the modernization of its branch network. Experts believe that Aldi Nord with this, the largest investment in the company's history will turn the tide of declining sales. The discounter has long been afflicted with revenue declines. This applies particularly to their core business: food.
