Aldi Corner Store

An Aldi spokesperson said “The Aldi Corner Store was commissioned by Australia for Australia, but local smaller formats are becoming increasingly important globally. However, Australia has had a growing influence on the evolving design in other markets.”

Aldi Australia plan an initial test of four Corner Stores, each about half the size of a standard 1,200-square-metre store.

Urban style

The new urban-style reveals that the metro concept store would feature a completely new layout, a ‘hole in the wall’ cafe, signage and ‘edgy street art.’

The modern format store features ‘better’ product displays, improved navigation, a modern interior design, redesigned shelving, expanded wooden produce bays, as well as extended energy efficient chillers.

The concept is Australia only for now – but the rest of the world is watching to see if and when it will be rolled out.
