Very cool! Especially like the consumer-based testing through the food labs, with constant iterations on proposed dishes. Wonder what other industries can learn from this method of product launches (they basically launch a new product every week!). Side point, but I also really like their way of handling customer interaction (which is right at the menu with a customer rep who takes orders + helps you understand what’s on the menu for the day).
Very curious to see how they are going to scale in the future. I’ve already seen quite a few stores pop-up, how can they preserve this local attitude when they scale into a national org? I would probably go for a more decentralized method (different offerings for different regions).
Great piece Peter G.! Interesting to see how successful some of Aldi’s products have been.
I wonder also how good their location / data capabilities are. In the countries that they recently expanded (Netherlands, Belgium, Poland), they have been on very strategic locations (heart of local neighbourhoods, where there are few competitors).
Their store lay-out also really interests me – esp. seeing that they only have so few SKUs (which explains why they can offer their product line in the original boxes, saving further money).
