Aldi's is the perfect store for the neighborhoods of Detroit. They have 1 store on upper Gratiot and one in Jefferson/Chalmers, as well as one in Highland Park. Some people are of the misconception that Aldi's is a low quality store, but that is not the case. They have high quality items, many relabeled as lower priced versions... fresh produce, meats and dairy, and lots of quality grocery items. With their 25 cents buggy return, quality goods, and very strict limited entry/exit, they could do well in some of the city's poorer neighborhoods where shrinkage is a problem.
There's no Aldi on or near Jefferson and Chalmers
