"The customer response to the store concept has been only positive - warm, inviting, fun, young, refreshing is what I’m hearing. The international response has also been very positive. Thank you."

ALDI China - National Roll Out

Landini Associates were engaged by ALDI SÜD to design a new trading format for the brand ahead of their entry into the Chinese market, commencing with two pilot stores in Shanghai.

The new Chinese stores were a milestone for the German-rooted retailer, drawing massive interest from both the media and public, with managed queues snaking outside both stores for hours upon opening.

Three years on and our retail format for ALDI China continues to roll out across the nation.
