What is Aldi doing right?

[Zacha341]

We have both to some extent including a mid-sized Meijers on Eight Mile [Detroit side of the street] We also have three Mikes full service grocers which while not perfect are full service. I would not expect you to be aware of these varied neighborhood stores - not living here.

I was surprised to see how Savon Foods is still thriving on Livernois and Curtis. University Grocery in WSU is high priced and meat not good IMO but an alternative to ultra expensive Whole Foods. I'm looking forward to our new Food Coop opening on Woodward near Clairmont very soon.

Aldi's indeed fills a saving niche. I am glad they've made the commitment to stay in the city of Detroit.

I kinda think Detroit needs a full service supermarket verses these neighborhood style small footprint markets...
