A
new grocery store is currently going up immediately
across the street from the entrance to our neighborhood in
Florida. We weren't surprised to see that it is going to be
another Aldi
store. Aldi is the fastest
growing grocery store chain in the United States
with well over 2,000 locations nationwide. Aldi
has been in our area for years now but the number of
locations has exploded over the past year or two. Our
new store is the 3rd one on that highway alone.
So,
why is this of interest to those in the .US community?
If you clicked on the Aldi link in the first paragraph,
you've probably already noticed that the company is based at
Aldi.US
- a web address that appears in the millions of
flyers that Aldi sends out to its customers every year
(the screen shot at right is from the flyer I got in the
mail today). That kind of exposure would be invaluable
to any TLD and is a major endorsement for America's
under-utilized ccTLD.

It's also just the start of what will be coming from
Aldi, a huge multi-national corporation founded in
Germany, that rung up approximately $15
billion in annual sales in the U.S. alone last
year. By the end of next year the company plans
to have 2,500 U.S. stores in operation, which will
give Aldi a spot among America's big 3 grocery chains,
alongside Wal-Mart and Kroger. If you are wondering if you
will be in good company with a .US domain, companies like Aldi,
Zoom.us
and CBRE.us
(the huge real estate services provider with 200 offices
across America) should answer that question.
