Kohl’s and Aldi are two very different types of stores. Kohl’s is a department store chain that offers a wide variety of merchandise, while Aldi is a discount grocery store chain. However, the two companies have been working together in recent years.
In 2016, Kohl’s began piloting a program in which it leased space to Aldi in some of its stores. The program was successful, and the two companies expanded their partnership in 2017. By 2018, there were Aldi stores in nearly 200 Kohl’s locations across the United States.
The partnership between Kohl’s and Aldi is unusual, but it seems to be working well for both companies. Kohl’s benefits from having a grocery store as an anchor tenant, which can help draw shoppers to its stores. And Aldi benefits from having a larger footprint and exposure to potential customers who might not otherwise shop at its stores.
It’s not clear what the future holds for the partnership between Kohl’s and Aldi, but for now, it seems to be working out well for both companies.
