Aldi to Close Online Shop by September 2025 Due to Profitability Issues
The decision impacts 80 employees and reflects Aldi's focus on core physical retail operations while maintaining other digital services.
- Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd have announced the closure of their joint online shop, effective September 30, 2025, citing lack of profitability since its 2021 launch.
- The online shop, which primarily sold non-food items such as household appliances and multimedia products, will stop accepting orders after September 30, 2025.
- Approximately 80 employees will lose their jobs as a result of the closure, according to the company’s statement.
- Aldi's apps, websites, and other digital services like 'Aldi Talk,' 'Aldi Reisen,' and 'Aldi Foto' will remain operational and unaffected by this decision.
- The move aligns with Aldi's strategy to prioritize its core business of physical retail and streamline operations for greater efficiency.
