Great question! **ALDI** doesn’t have an **'s** in its name because it’s not a possessive noun—it’s simply the brand name.
The name **ALDI** comes from the **Albrecht Discount** chain, founded by the **Albrecht brothers** in Germany. Unlike stores like **McDonald's** or **Walmart's**, which imply ownership (McDonald’s = belonging to McDonald), **ALDI** is just a shortened version of its original name.
