German discount chain Aldi Süd is preparing to launch a flagship store in the coastal metropolis of Shanghai next week, according to trade reports.
With its stores in Australia and the United States, Aldi Süd is already well ahead in the race to increase business beyond Europe. The retailer began operating an online shop in China in 2017, and speculation about an expansion had been circulating for some time. The Shanghai store would offer the usual Aldi products, imported from Europe, as well as a large fresh fish counter.
