If you've ever stepped foot in an Aldi, you know that the multinational family-owned discount supermarket chain (it's a mouthful!) touts a wide selection of goods, from must-have budget buys to household essentials. The grocery chain also flaunts a cult-following, particularly amongst millenials who recently elected Aldi as their top-choice market.
Nowadays, it seems like there's an Aldi at every corner of town. But surprisingly, the grocery chain didn't originate in the United States but rather, in Germany. Per Aldi, its very first store opened in Germany in 1961 before the chain expanded to the United States 15 years later.
