Most Aldi stores close early on Sundays. We’re talking 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM. Yes, that’s it.
You can’t show up at 8:45 PM like it’s a Tuesday. The doors will be locked. The lights will be dim. A lone employee will be mopping the floor, staring into your soul.
Why so early? Because even Aldi respects the sabbath. Or because they want you to go home and eat leftovers. Probably both.

Here’s the twist: not all Aldis are the same. Some close at 6:00 PM. Others at 7:00 PM. A rare few—like unicorns—close at 8:00 PM.
Don’t trust your memory. Don’t trust your cousin who “swears it’s 9 PM.” Trust the app. Or call the store. Yes, a human might answer.
Pro tip: Google Maps is your best friend. But sometimes Google lies. Double-check the store’s official website. It’s a weirdly satisfying ritual.
