Reply to comment by Kolzig33189 in Do any of the Trader Joe’s in CT carry their store brand beer? by IntenseSun77

It is a thing in other states, for both stores. Trader Joe’s wine is famously called 2-buck-chuck, but I think the price is closer to $5/$6 a bottle now. I’ve also been to Aldi in Germany (it’s home country) and it was amazing.

Fun fact: Aldi is actually 2 independent companies, Nord and Süd (north and south), run by brothers but otherwise not connected.

Aldi Nord is the business that owns Trader Joe's while Aldi Süd is the company that owns the US Aldi stores, so the two businesses in the US are also not related.

You are correct! I think the brothers had fight or something that lead to the split.
