ALDI 1310 1st Street East, Park Rapids, MN 56470

"Cheaper than everyone else in town by far. Great sized parking lot. My bagels are $1.95 here whereas Walmart and Hugo's they are $4 to $5 nowadays. I LOVE the self checkout. I avoid Coborn's since they do not have self checkout and I have had bad luck with their produce. Aldi has their stores figured out. They keep their prices low by reducing staff requirements - people have to be responsible humans and bag their own groceries, return their own cart to the PROPER location and not in the middle of a parking lot... and they charge if you do not bring your own reusable bags. Excellent business model. I have not talked with any employees so far but the store is always very clean and they seem to keep it well stocked. I've had no issues with any food purchased from them."

"Is this a joke? No cart unless I’m carrying pocket change and I get the change back if I return the cart. Prices are no different than other stores in town and they have carts readily available. making it convenient on the customer. Very. Inconvenient. I don’t care how “new” you are, your groceries are no better than the store across the street except they aren’t afraid to employ people to fetch carts. There is nothing “new” about being inconvenient. I will not be a customer."

"It's really friendly staff. Very clean store. Very nice parking lot and very fast to get in and out of. I love the auto checked out"

"Very nice store. Most of the prices are great. Do have to watch some name brand stuff. Still learning what stuff is good (and not) in their brands"
