    How is Aldi owned by a different Aldi? To me that would only make sense if the comment in the thread above had specified which Aldi they were referring to.

      Aldi in North America is owned by a different parent company than Trader Joes. Both parent companies are named Aldi. The context of the original question was essentially asking “Aren’t Aldi (US) and Trader Joes owned by the same company?” to which Mr Worldly Wiseman responded with a correct no. No further specification needed because you can simply look to the broader context the question was asked in.

      Aldi US stores are owned by Aldi Süd, which is different from the Aldi Nord that owns trader Joe’s. You can see it in the logo that Aldi US stores use.
