where was the first aldi store opened in australia
Aldi In much of Australia, Aldi filled a void in the discount supermarket business that arose when the discount grocery chain Franklins went out of business. Aldi opened its first store in Sydney, 2001 and has grown rapidly since, maintaining a 12.6% market share as of early 2016.[22][23]
Aldi Aldi launched in Great Britain, on 5 April 1990, when it opened its first store there in Stechford, Birmingham, using the wholly owned English registered company of Aldi Stores Limited and Aldi sales in Britain grew consistently. In October 2013, Aldi opened the 300th store in Great Britain.[21] By 2017 Aldi had over 600 stores there, and was opening them at a rate of more than one a week with the aim of having a thousand stores by 2022.[22]
Target Australia In 1968, Myer Emporium Ltd purchased the chain of 16 stores and renamed the company Lindsay's Target Pty Ltd,[4] with an aim to expand the business.[6] With the stores rebranded as Target, it quickly established itself throughout Australia, and within 3 years had stores in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and NSW.[5] Despite the similar logo, name and type of outlets, Target carried no corporate connection to US department store Target.[7] In March 1973, "Lindsay's" was dropped from the company name when the business was renamed Target Australia Pty Ltd.[4]
New Covent Garden Market Construction began in 1971 on the site of the former Nine Elms Locomotive Works, and the market opened on 11 November 1974.
