Yes, for a lot of people, Aldi's on 466a is cart accessible.

How would that work? You can't cross 466A at Pinellas. And AFAIK there are no paths from the north that are through to those parking lots.

Same ownership. Maybe they will put TJ in the other 40% that's left over?

Nothing could be worse than Winn-Dixie. I've never been in an Aldi's, but it has to be better than what it's replacing.

Rarely does my app give me Aldi as a better price, or the same cost per ounce.
Why would I meat for a higher per ounce or pound price at Aldi, instead of at other grocery.
It bothers me the chaotic looks of Aldi, even at rope drop. Some say it the shopper that causes the issue, I look at why doesn’t management resolve issues after hours, like all retail has to do.
My parents were avid shoppers of Aldi, until I added price comparison apps. Aldi dropped from their go to store, to rarely shop at Aldi

Last I checked, a dozen eggs at Publix was around $6 so not sure what your point is. Prices at all groceries are higher. You know what is responsible, but not allowed to say here.

You mean monopolies. Basically we have 2 grocery store choices in Florida, Publix and Walmart now that Winn Dixie is gone

Aldi's and Trader Joes are not the same ownership. They were founded by the same family but the two brothers split up in 1961 in some kind of dispute. So the two stores haven't had any relationship with each other for over 60 years.

Why not? The culprit was a continued battle against the highly pathogenic avian influenza, known in short as HPAI or the bird flu.
