Aldi's is moving into our area and the store to be opened nearby will be in a former Dress Barn.  I was surprised that it would be such a small space.  Is that typical for Aldi's?

There are several stores in my area.  They range from the size of a big convience store to supermarket big.

they are not big stores,  

but you can save a lot of money shopping there and it's good

eggs were 69/doz last trip we made

It depends. But most of the Aldi's I have shopped have been much smaller than a typical grocery store. 
Aldi's offers a limited number of products.

Some Aldis have great produce; others do not. Produce quality is the main issue for me when choosing a market.

We just got one in our area and I was shocked to see how small it is, the size of a 7-11 or gas station type convenience store.

They must be packed in like the Big Lots stores are, but this Aldi's is much smaller than our Big Lots.

I've never seen one of their stores any bigger than a Dress Barn

I'll stick with my Publix, right across the street and love those BOGO's!

The first Aldi I ever shopped was small, dimly lit, felt thrown together with lots of products still in packing boxes, too much produce that looked as if it had been in some ther store for a week or more.  That store was a 16 mile round trip for me.  Do I need to tell you if I went there once a year that was enough?

Now there's a newish larger store near me, clean and bright, definitely not a huge store, but more reasons to shop it because they. do have some bargains.  I still don't go often -- there are 5 Publix, a Winn-Dixie, a Whole Foods, a Trader Joe, and 2 large gourmet markets closer to home.  Even Target and Costco and a huge ethnic market are closer.  Way more choice than I need!
