Anyway: look at the Aldi one (or LIDL -- they're brothers apparently).

I think you are confusing two things:
1. Aldi and Lidl have very similar business models
- pile it high and sell it cheap (
- don't stock named brands
- only stock one brand of each commodity
- stock a wide range of different items *but not all at the same
time*
- sell from medium size, in town, shops
(oh, and they are both German)

2. Aldi was controlled by two brothers (they have since retired), and
is run as two companies (Aldi Nord/Aldi Markt and Aldi Süd) operating
in different areas. Fortunately, Britain gets Aldi Süd (a friend from
Hamburg says Aldi Nord is not as good).
