grocery stores

“I’d like to know why there are so many ALDI locations around DC but there is only one located in DC.”

“Dear PoPville,

I’d like to know why there are so many ALDI locations around DC but there is only one located in DC.  Attached is a Google Maps screenshot showing the obvious (and massive) void in DC.

I swear I’m not trying to advertise for them…it’s just that ALDI is a great place to shop with really affordable prices and city living is expensive. DC’s only ALDI location is in far NE and isn’t very accessible without a car, especially when you’re trying to get home with a full load of groceries.”
