2 totally different business. I don't think it will have any neg effect on Aldi especially since they don't for the most part sell the same BRANDS and their similar type of items are much cheaper. Most Aldi shoppers have easy access to a local Publix or Winn D nearby but go to Aldi because they want to. It's a "destination" business.

I only wish they made that mall golf cart accessible. I know it isn't a TV property which is why but there must be some way they can "sneak in" a connection to the trail at the end of their property at Buena Vista.

With all the new places coming in that would help that mall's business quite a bit.

Publix or Winn Dixie will never beat Aldi's prices.

Good news but non golf cart access sucks. I'll still go to colony for the ease of parking with a golf cart. Many more places to park and share a space.

Aldi’s is like shopping in a third world market. I’ve never seen the attraction.

It has been pointed out several times that there would be no golf cart access, and if it was "sneaked in" it would be very detrimental to the villagers in that area. When the developer presented plans to Wildwood for what they wanted to do, I think there were provisions for GC access from the North side of 466a, I never saw any access from the South side of 466a. Also, it appears Wildwood has no plans for GC access either as recent road rebuilds (466a and 462) do not have GC lanes.

I am well aware there would be no GC access and stated that. But Where there is a will there is a way. ;)

Aldi's produce has a 24 hour time frame to use or it hits the disposal-- we had one in Cary NC, tried it once--most produce was hanging on for dear life--thats why it was so cheap

You might get fresher stuff in the dumpster behind Publix

Perhaps your Aldi's store was managed differently than others. I shop regularly at Aldi's and have no problem with any of their products. I believe they have upgraded their products in the last couple years. I get sticker shock at Publix or Winn Dixie, but they do have good specials. I think we're lucky to have the choices.

Aldi's doesn't care about Publix.

The new Aldi is 10X better than the other ones. Haven't shopped them lately though so maybe they too have upped their game. I had a thought re: golf-cart accessible...Pinellas has a traffic light and there's an entry going towards the Trade-winds property. Perhaps soon enough one can cross 466a, as folks do on 441/27 to go to Lowes and such. Don't be "Debbie Downers" as this area is just developing!!
