Thinking they're the same or related would be like me saying I have a cat, and my sister, who doesn't live in my house has a cat, therefore we are co-owners of two cats.
In 1979 Aldi Nord purchased the U.S. operations of Trader Joe’s, which had been founded in California in 1958. Trader Joe’s operates as a separate division of the pparent.

You co-own the cat.
