ALDI Stores Australia

As the heart of the ALDI business, we want to set up our employees for growth and success so they can be the best version of themselves.   One of the ways we do this is through the Future Leaders Program, a comprehensive training program that can help our retail team members develop the skills and insights they need to be a future ALDI leader.   Ryan completed the program and credits it for helping to strengthen his ability to communicate and build rapport with a wide range of people as he moved into a Store Manager role.   If you’re looking to kick-start your career and fast-track your path to retail leadership, have a look at current opportunities here: www.aldicareers.com.au

Aussies love an ALDI surprise popping up in the middle aisle, but what about where they least expect it?   Our incognito fine wine expert ‘Fin D’Itinaldi’ went undercover at Sydney’s prestigious Polo in the City to offer punters a Good Different introduction to the ALDI wine range. Our ALDI affordable drops were put to the ultimate test among a crowd of wine aficionados. Their verdict? You don’t need to break the bank to enjoy a quality glass of great-tasting wine.   Take a look at the crowd’s tasting notes in the video below or read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/gd6SgzrN

ALDI has been crowned the best in Australia for pork, beef, lamb, and fish in Canstar Blue’s 2024 Supermarket Meat Awards. Our meat range received the top gong for its quality and value, coming out on top overall in the supermarket category with four wins across the six awards. Read more about the results here: https://lnkd.in/gsmBySdb More than an award just for ALDI, this recognises the dedication and passion of all of our supply partners around Australia, including producers such as Rob and Anna Mulligan. These local legends pride themselves on farming lamb and beef from the highest quality pastures in Walcha, New South Wales for ALDI customers. Thanks to the Mulligans and all our partners who work with us to ensure ALDI is the prime choice for Aussie shoppers looking for top-quality, great-value meats every day.

Every Christmas, even those of us who plan to keep it low-key can't help but splash out on little indulgences – the festive flair, the fancy gravy boat…   It’s the finishing touches that make Christmas feel like Christmas.   This Christmas rest assured you can go that little bit extra, without going overboard on the budget, thanks to ALDI’s extensive range of high-quality Christmas products.

Promise we won’t make a fuss… 

Last month ALDI team members helped raise funds for our charity partner Camp Quality during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We held bake sales and BBQs, donned bucket hats and pounded the pavement (and the treadmill) racking up the kilometres and walking the equivalent of Bundaberg to Byron Bay in one week!   It was fantastic to see teams around Australia get into the spirit and go all-out to help support kids impacted by cancer.

With over 90% of Aussie households grabbing a bunch during their weekly grocery shop, it’s really no surprise that people go absolutely bananas for bananas. Fortunately, our Produce Partners at Premier Fresh Australia help us meet the demand!    Premier Fresh Australia has been supplying their premium Cavendish bananas to ALDI customers since we first opened our doors in Australia, way back in 2001. In this video, Head Grower Mark Smith talks through how they get 8.5 million kilos of banana from the farm to ALDI customers every year.     Read more about how we’ve cultivated a long and fruitful partnership here: https://lnkd.in/dNWxbdSq 

Last week Foodbank Australia released its annual Foodbank Hunger Report, providing a stark reminder of the number of households in Australia who are struggling with food insecurity.     Foodbank works closely with the entire food and grocery industry to ensure food relief is available to those who need it most. As a proud supporter of Foodbank, we are committed to supporting their mission to end hunger in Australia.    So far this year, through our food rescue efforts, donation drives and fundraising initiatives with our Business Partners, ALDI has donated more than 3.5 million meals to Foodbank to support families impacted by food insecurity.    We’re dedicated to helping Foodbank make a good difference and supporting those doing it tough.
