Aldi Expands to China

Supermarket chain Aldi (Essen, Germany) announced plans to expand into China over the next year.

First, Aldi will launch a website for Chinese consumers to order grocery items to be delivered to their homes, reports the Retail Gazette.

“We know there is a strong demand among Chinese consumers for Australian manufactured products and our goal is to provide a competitively priced alternative for shoppers seeking quality groceries,” said an Aldi spokeswoman.

The retailer will follow the launch of the website with brick-and-mortar stores later in 2017.
