They are building a lot of stores in SouthWest Virginia for some reason. I know of 2 near me that should be open by the end of the year.
These stores are very popular in Great Britain.
is this similar to Aldi?
Yep. One’s supposed to go in near us.
The number of jobs picking items off shelves and putting them in boxes is far less than the sales jobs and other jobs putting items on store shelves. This is just propaganda for Amazon. Amazon is killing stores by losing money. They are just underselling everybody. And they have no profits. Its taken 20 years, but they are not adding jobs. They are taking them away.
The Obama White House gave Amazon a blank check because they are more green than stores are. Or at least that is their claim. They say that UPS and the mail truck are already delivering to every house. So stores are just a waste of energy and cover the land with useless cement.
I’ve wondered about that. My local Aldi’s is not very good but English people on British food blogs LOVE Lidl’s.
These European grocery chains enter the US market blissfully unaware that it has had savage competition among grocery chains for decades. Every bit of market share is fought over and every scheme to bring in customers has been tried already.
Here is a big list of defunct US grocery stores:
