Crunch question of the day

[GeraldineMumsnet]

And this time it's not about quality, it's about quantity.

Is there a Lidl or an Aldi in your area, or both? Which do you reckon has more stores?

thanks

Look like Aldi's winning

I think a couple of each tbh

(are you really that bored that you can't even come up with a decent question like "mayo or ketchup with chips"?)

2 Lidls (1 in each of the main towns), but no Aldi

I have absolutely no idea whether there is an Aldi or a Lidl near me but as I live in a city I would expect so.

There are more Lidls than Aldis. Probably.

We have an Aldi and a Lidl but they are about a 10 minute drive away in a shall we say less affluent part of town. I still shop at Aldi. Great bread and cereal!!

Oh and mayo on chips

Both ..more Aldis then Lidls

Neither. No Netto. No Asda either.

Bored? Perish the thort. No, it's Important Research.

Well the offfical answer is that there are "more than 700" ALdi stores in teh UK and "more than 400" Lidl stores.

There's an Aldi (but it's the completely wrong side of town) but no Lidl that I'm aware of. I don't really think of them as being different shops.

But some people will post talking about the same store so how will that tell you how many there are?

Aldi is near but a lidl is about 4 miles away.

I think theres more aldi stores.

Neither. Netto on the far side of town.

Hi,
I needed to know this recently and found the answer on Wikipedia...it lists the number of UK stores for both. Not sure how up to date it is though.

My Dad always tells the same sstory when we talk about Aldi
THat twwo brothers owned Aldis but they fell out
SO now one owns Aldi one owns Lidls
ANd wherever you see an ALdi the Lidl brother always opens a Lidl so that they are always in direct competition!

Princessmel I think there is a Lidl in Hatfield that's quite near to us in sunny St A

Well there's an Aldi near us (well six miles away but that counts as near round here). No Lidl unless it's hiding.
