Aldi Australia is expanding its reach beyond commercial real estate as it fights against giants like Costco, Woolworths and Coles, with one big change starting today.<\/p>\n
The German-based supermarket company operates about 600 stores across Australia after acquiring some of the most lucrative, high-foot traffic brick-and-mortar sites around the country since launching Down Under in 2001.<\/p>\n
But in order to remain competitive, Aldi has been slowly branching into the delivery space by partnering with DoorDash to give customers access to door-to-door servicing.<\/p>\n
Tested in a number of states, Aldi\u2019s DoorDash service is available in NSW from this week \u2013 bringing it in line with what the company already offers in Canberra, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.<\/p>\n
