Maybe it's just the particular Aldi's I've been to, but I've never really liked any of the products I've ever bought there. Still, I'm glad it's here as I know the chain has its fans and hope it does well. Any business that does well just increases the likelihood of other business here that I'm more interested in. The wife would love a Trader Joes and a Whole Foods as they both have some goat cheeses she likes (she can't eat cheese made from cow milk). And of course we'd love to have Costco come here as well. So far, it seems as though these companies still think The Villages can't support them, especially when the snowbirds have gone home to roost for the summer. The way we're growing, I'm not sure they are right on this.
