Yes, indeed Diggy. Just one look at the UK turnover for ALDI and it's rapidly growing online presence means that VS have secured a fabulous deal. With the new chairman now installed, I would expect that VS will also be servicing ALDI's European operations as well.

This all goes to explain why the headcount has risen quite a lot in the past six months.

Old man, there's no need to feel down
I said, old man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, old man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy
Old man, there's a place you can go
I said, old man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time
It's fun to shop at the ALDI
It's fun to shop at the ALDI
They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys !!!!
It's fun to shop at the ALDI
It's fun to shop at the ALDI
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do what about you feel
Old man, are you listening to me?
I said, old man, what do you want to be?
I said, old man, you can make real your dreams
But you…

Hopefully VS can pick up the US suppliers to integrate into Aldi's offerings, would certainly make for a solid foothold stateside.

This from a chain-store website in the US:-

Deep-discount grocer Aldi is winning over customers as it continues to grow at a torrid pace.

Aldi expanding in the Garden State

The company’s new stores are motivating new shoppers to try Aldi — 40% of first-time shoppers cited they wanted to experience a new store, according to a study by IRI. The report, the second in a series of IRI Market Shift Studies, analyzes the expansion impact of Aldi, which has plans to add more than 900 stores in the United States for a total of 2,500 locations by 2022, and what it means for retailers’ local markets.

Once a shopper buys at Aldi, customer satisfaction and repeat buying rates are high, the study revealed. Eighty percent of shoppers say they are extremely or very satisfied with their experience and 84% claiming they will definitely shop at Aldi again.

Aldi is also winning over millennials. The chain’s focus on value and convenience, as well as its increasing emphasis on organic and healthier products, has enabled it to capture more share of wallet from millennial shoppers than any other shopper segment, according to IRI.

“With this in-depth analysis on ALDI and its plans to become the third-largest grocery store by count in the United States, retailers and manufacturers have the opportunity to effectively meet new challenges with a better understanding of where the greatest risks are and how shoppers are thinking about their new choices.” said Fernando Salido, executive VP of shopper analytics, consumer & shopper Marketing for IRI.

A very interesting, and relevant (to us) story just now on CNBC about ALDI's huge US expansion plans.

Today, they open their 1800th store in the USA, and have put into place a 4-year expansion plan to eventually have 2500 stores by 2022. This would then make ALDI the THIRD largest food and retail chain in the US.

For the life of me, I cannot fathom out why the ALDI contract secured by Virtualstock has not been RNS'd. This is massive news, their turnover alone is 25 times that of John Lewis and their online presence is growing daily.

However it does put us at an advantage, because if the wider market and investing public are still unaware of the potential of VS at the moment then the share price won't be running away yet.

As an addition, "millenials" in the USA have voted ALDI their top store, and we know how millenials shop. Online.

A rather drizzly good morning to all genuine LEGGIE's.

A much brighter and warmer outlook though, and that goes for the weather forecast too.
