• Expansion into home and lifestyle categories—vinyl tablecloths, magical garden lighting, bean bag toss games, basket coolers, and $23 cookware—showcasing diversified revenue streams beyond groceries
• Strong media coverage of ALDI’s no-frills approach, frugal finds, and tips for replicating restaurant meals at home, reinforcing its reputation for quality at low prices
