Xavier Niel caught wind of the insult and decided to visit said Lidl—an Aldi-like discount supermarket

Wtf is this disrespect, Kotaku?

Disrespect? Lidl was specifically made to copy and be a direct competitor to Aldi.

What makes Lidl a copy of Aldi? Isn't every supermarket the same?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

No, Aldi and Lidl are discounters. Aldi invented the model and Lidl copied it.

Lidl and Aldi were created by brothers and often appear near each other because sibling rival be like that

I know of brothers creating Aldi North and Aldi South, at least here in Germany (Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd). I wasn't aware of the history of Lidl being a direct competitor to Aldi. Just looked up on Wikipedia for quick reference.

Yep, Whole Foods and the Pay ‘n’ Save, basically identical.
