Landini Associates ended its 14-year partnership with Aldi Süd by delivering a global trading format designed for the discounter’s five territories: the US, Australia, Germany, Hofer, and the UK and Ireland. The modular model can be adapted for different formats and building types. Trials began in Aventura FL, in September 2025, with further testing continuing in the US in 2026. It said Aldi’s local teams in the remaining markets would refine the format from Q2 2026. (Retail Times)
