short_description: "The co-location index distinguishes between chains that participate in cluster scoring — anchors, hardware, warehouse — and chains that appear on the map as supporting context without affecting cluster grades. The Food family is the latter. This article documents United Kingdom and European Union food-retail coverage as of the May 2026 expansion."

Aldi operates as two corporate entities — Aldi Süd (Wikidata Q41171) and Aldi Nord (Wikidata Q125054) — that split European geography along a north-south axis. In the Netherlands and Nordic-adjacent markets, only Aldi Nord operates. In the United Kingdom and Poland, only Aldi Süd operates. The OpenStreetMap brand identifier tag on individual store records is inconsistent across markets — many stores carry one identifier, the other, or neither. To achieve acceptable coverage in markets where the identifier tag is sparse, the ingest configuration falls back to a name-based query confined to the country's bounding box.

**Correction (2026-08-02):** Poland is real-world Aldi **Nord** territory, not Aldi
Süd — a plain factual error about Aldi's actual corporate structure, independent of
any codebase check. UK is correctly Aldi Süd. **Flagged, not resolved.** The OpenStreetMap brand identifier tag on individual store records is inconsistent across markets — many stores carry one identifier, the other, or neither.

Interests in those solutions are offered only to investors who qualify under an applicable prospectus exemption — including the accredited-investor exemption under National Instrument 45-106 — Prospectus Exemptions, and equivalent exemptions in other applicable jurisdictions. Content on this wiki is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security.
