We’re beyond excited to welcome ALDI back to life on Swannanoa River Road—nine and a half months after Hurricane Helene swept through. With Cheddar’s Restaurant opening right across the street and U-Haul only a few months away, this corner of East Asheville is reviving fast.

🌱 A Bit of ALDI History & Values
.
-
Founded in 1946 by German brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht as Albrecht Diskont, “Aldi” became the brand name in 1962.
-
In 1960, the brothers split the business—not over grocery ideas, but whether to sell cigarettes. One sold them, one didn’t.
-
In the US, Aldi Süd built the ALDI chain, while Aldi Nord owns Trader Joe’s—both prominent but distinct entities.
-
Today, ALDI stocks 90% exclusive brands, focusing on quality, healthier choices, organic and gluten-free options, and responsible supply practices.
.
Nutrition experts are taking notice too—a dietitian shopping for her family praised ALDI for affordable staples like bone broth, organic blueberries, and grain bread that support both health and savings.
