Aldi Grocery In Franklin, TN: What You Need To Know Before Shopping At Aldi

Have you heard about the new Aldi grocery store in Franklin, TN?

Here’s why we think Aldi is such a neat place to buy groceries and why we’ll be driving from Brentwood to shop there!

In case you’re wondering, the next closest Aldi to Brentwood is on Nolensville Road — right across from the Nashville Zoo.

Shopping at Aldi is different from shopping at other grocery stores.

Here are some things you should know before visiting Aldi:

• Bring a quarter with you. You insert 1 quarter to rent your shopping cart. But you get the quarter back when you return the cart to its corral.
• Be prepared to bag your own groceries after checkout. You can purchase plastic Aldi bags for 15-cents at checkout. Or do what most people do and grab an empty box while shopping. Besides, weren’t you meaning to go cloth, anyway?
• Take cash or a debit card to pay. (No credit cards are accepted.)
• Be adventurous. Aldi carries very few brands that you will recognize. Most are private labels. Aldi offers a double guarantee on every product. You can return any item for your money back and a replacement. (So far, I’ve only had to do this on the French cut green beans, which were very mushy.)
