Aldi just revealed its next assault against Walmart, Amazon, and Kroger
Hayley Peterson
Aldi is expanding its online grocery services and preparing to launch curbside pickup in the United States, Aldi US CEO Jason Hart told Business Insider.
Aldi started testing online grocery delivery in select cities last year through a partnership with Instacart. The service has expanded slowly and is still only available in a few markets, including Atlanta and Chicago.
In an interview Wednesday, Hart said Aldi is planning to expand the partnership with Instacart and eventually offer the service at all US stores.
"We're very excited about our growing partnership with Instacart," Hart said. "The initial results have been overwhelmingly positive."
Aldi is also planning to start testing curbside pickup, which allows shoppers to buy groceries online and then pick them up at stores, where employees will load the bagged items into their cars.
"Curbside pickup is something that we're going to begin to pilot," Hart said. "That's in the much earlier stages, though, than what our relationship with Instacart is."

I've used Instacart through HEB before ...good service. I've also used HEB's curbside service. Being a busy man-about-town I often don't have time for such trivialities as shopping and my illegal maid servant can't be trusted to leave the house unaccompanied as she might choose to go "on the run" and I'd have to find another.
One of the advantages of living in Houston/Texas though is it's the USA's #1 state for human trafficking.

I just want her to know that I'm sorry but I don't have the nuts to tell her.

Well, this thread certainly took a turn in my absence.
