So they support NC farmers, have negotiated exclusively with them or portion. I would assume they would do the same for GA farmers and keep prices low. I like Lidl.

People who generally shop at Wholefoods, are not the customers you see at Lidl or Aldi. I do know someone who won't set foot into Aldi, but has her relative shop for her their specials. I for one have been waiting for a Lidl. My shopping will be done in both of those stores, groceries in this area are way too expensive, over priced.

Damn you Kroger! Nasty stores! Wegman's is nice and would be a nice addition to the area. Love Publix but they could do better. Trader Joe's = Love. Sprouts is good. Whole foods = expensive = broke. I'd give Lidl a try ... Hope they are good.

Personally I don't care for Aldi, so even if they are a few steps above them that still does not give me enough incentive to give them a chance. ATL needs the likes of a Wegman's to push Kroger and Publix to do better. Sorry but Lidl only cuts into the Aldi niche of the grocery market. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-16502340769213271502017-11-26T23:46:47.754-05:002017-11-26T23:46:47.754-05:00Well they had better hope that they start to gain ...Well they had better hope that they start to gain in popularity. So far they’re struggling to gain a foot hold here but the one thing going for them is money to help in building the U.S Business. They’re basically a step up from Aldi but can’t hold a candle to the big boys like Publix and Kroger.

From what I have heard, their openings have been less than stellar and they are already pulling back on their grand plans to take over the US grocery market. They have lots of turnover in their real estate department too. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
