Aldi.  We have our own unique style when it comes to grocery shopping.  Being unique has helped make us one of the fastest-growing retailers in the U.S. Headquartered just outside of Chicago, Aldi is an award-winning grocer that operates more than 16 hundred stores across the US and thousands of locations across the globe in Europe and Australia. The more than 40 million people who shop our stores in the US each month know our approach to retailing is simple. Keep product quality high, overhead low and pass the savings on to our customers. We take our time choosing our products so we can guarantee quality and freshness all while keeping our customers grocery carts full and their wallets even fuller, helping customers save up to 50% on their grocery bills. We're able to do this by focusing on what people buy the most like fresh produce and organics, dairy, gluten free foods, U.S.D.A choice beef and bakery items. And, it's important that our shoppers feel good about the food they serve their families, which is why our exclusive brand food products are free of added MSG, certified synthetic colors and partially hydrogenated oils. Rising demand for Aldi is fueling our rapid expansion and we're excited to be growing our presence and established markets while exploring opportunities in new regions. In fact by the end of 2018 there will be nearly 2,000 Aldi stores from coast to coast. As our business experiences unprecedented growth, we're gonna need supplier partners to grow with us. As a grocery leader, we're always looking for new high-quality suppliers for both our food and non-food general merchandise lines. The majority of our nearly 1,400 everyday products are produced in the U.S. by a variety of top quality manufacturers ranging from fortune 500 companies to local family-owned businesses. When we find a supplier that consistently answers the call for high quality products and service and is responsive to changing consumer needs it's not uncommon for our relationship to span 15, 20 even 30 years. Working together in harmony for over 30 years sounds ideological; However, that is how we view our growing partnership with Aldi. Your direction and growth has pushed us to become an even greater company than we could have ever imagined. The quest for quality is unmatched and we believe is a core component of your success. We value what all these suppliers bring to our business and strong supplier partnerships are important to us and essential to our success. We're not the only ones who find the products we sell extraordinary. The best proof of our quality is our countless consumer voted product and wine awards plus our customers and growth. People wouldn't keep coming back and we wouldn't keep growing the way we are if we didn't have exceptional premium products. To know Aldi is to love Aldi and the shoppers who know us really do love us and are loyal to us. To an Aldi supplier partner this loyalty is an incredible opportunity for significant steady volume. Making products under one of our Aldi exclusive brands is an excellent way to increase your sales. These brands represent more than 90 percent of our products, which are sold in every store from coast-to-coast. "Leclerc foods and Aldi have been business partners for nearly 20 years. Aldi is a best-in-class retailer that focuses on driving volume at a great price and does so without sacrificing quality. This mindset has pushed our company to be more efficient and innovate and our mutual sales growth has been phenomenal, especially over the last five years. We also could not be more satisfied with the ease and simplicity of the buyer supplier relationship. We are extremely proud to partner with Aldi and we look forward to not only continuing to grow our mutual businesses but to keep pushing the envelope on innovation and product quality" - Leclerc Foods. Our supplier partnerships are based on a few simple principles. We pay our bills on time every time, we do not take unwarranted deductions, will never make returns to you because of our purchasing decisions. There are no rebates, manufacturer coupons or promotions. There are no advertising reps, marketing costs or food show fees and we always buy in full pallets or truckloads when possible, not by the case. There is no need to provide in-store point-of-sale displays and there are no slotting fees. We keep products in their display boxes delivered straight from our warehouse to the store floor. And with our centralized distribution, Aldi eliminates the need for direct store delivery which reduces your freight costs. Additionally, our purchasing department has full decision-making authority. When you have a question or request you can expect an answer far more quickly than you might expect from other retailers. We have a proven track record of not only growing our business but also growing our supplier partners business right along with it. "Since 1992, together we've grown our business to millions of cases a year. The most gratifying aspect of our relationship continues to be the notion that we are part of a supply chain that helps Aldi deliver to consumers the best quality value proposition on the planet. We are mindful of the privilege and grateful for the opportunity" - LiDestri Foods & Beverage. Aldi cares about our supplier partner relationships as well as customers, our employees, our communities, and our role as a business. Our approach to grocery shopping is simple and we look forward to working with you.
