ALDI – Why they are successful

With everyday pantry essentials and unique specialties Aldi is a fan favorite for stocking the kitchen on a budget. If you’ve ever shopped at the discounter you’ve probably noticed a few of the store’s quirks including their $0.25 shopping cart deposit system and lack of shopping bags. But you may have missed one more interesting detail: Aldi doesn’t play music like other stores do!

The decision to keep the store quiet may seem a little odd even inhospitable but it’s actually quite strategic. Businesses pay to have music played overhead and because Aldi wants to keep prices super low — to keep customers like us coming back — the company is intentionally not spending money on this service.
