The Monroe, West Monroe, and Ruston market area could surely support at least three stores.

Do you have Winn Dixie up that way, they are changing over some of them?

The Monroe Garden district yoga pants contingent could support one all by themselves. But I hear they're holding out for a Whole Foods.

I’ve tried Aldi twice. Not impressed in the least.

Aldi is freaking terrible. I stopped at the one in Laplace. I think I was the only one in the store

No one wants to go to Northeast Louisiana, so why would Aldi?

It's a fine store and pretty clean/efficient from a discount retailer perspective. But it's not really something I'd say I missed. It's like those Amazon retailers or Wal Mart Neighborhood market in scope/size, but slightly cleaner and nicer.

I'm sure that Monroe, West Monroe, and Ruston are on the map for ALDI. They are expanding a lot. Once they have a DC that can service that area, you'll see them spread into the area like Kudzu.

I think if LaTech grows a bit more and a new major factory/automotive assembly plant opens up near Monroe....the area could make the case for a Whole Foods or Trader Joes potentially. That might be 5-10 years away though at least. Trader Joes uses the same DC's as ALDI, so they tend to come in at the same time.

Aldi is awesome. We love it. I went to Publix last night and got less stuff than I got last time I went to Aldi and paid nearly twice the amount. And Aldi's goods are quality.

Aldi has been a godsend. I suck at grocery shopping and Aldi is more compact and I don't have to think as hard.

If you're into cold cuts and dips and cheese and shite like that, they have some really good stuff and its cheap too.

With rural electrification, lots of good things could occur in NELA.
