Aldi Nord Opens Its New Store No. 1 in Essen-Schonnebeck

Aldi Nord moved its historic store No. 1 out of the Albrecht family's original shop on Huestraße into a new building on Saatbruchstraße, built to its updated store concept.

Aldi Nord opened the direct successor of its historic store No. 1 on 10 December 2020, in a new building on Saatbruchstraße in Essen-Schonnebeck^[1].
The old store sat in the Aldi Stammhaus at Huestraße 89, where the Albrecht family business began more than 100 years earlier; the building stays in the group's ownership^[1][2].
The new store keeps the internal name "Verkaufsstelle 1" and has historic photos inside recalling the company's origins^[1][2].
Aldi Nord's history page calls it a milestone of its modernisation drive, the biggest in the company's history, which refitted all of its roughly 2,200 German stores^[2].

Notable features

Built to Aldi Nord's updated store concept, which was then rolled out to all new and rebuilt stores^[1].
Shelves run only lengthwise, product groups are re-sequenced for easier orientation and decoration is reduced^[1].
