Aldi’s traffic light system and other safety measures impressed Guest retailer Aldi bagged its first Grocer 33 win since 2016 this week, with its Hednesford branch racking up 74 points including a perfect score for availability. Our mystery shopper said she felt safe thanks to Aldi’s traffic light system and a hand sanitising station just inside the store, though “the entrance to the store felt quite cramped” due to the special offers. She praised staff, who were busy restocking and tidying shelves but promptly provided directions when asked for item locations. Staff were “considerate” of customers and made sure the restock trolleys were not causing an obstruction. There were “no gaps on shelves”.
