    I know Aldi is in NYS. There is one in Brockport. I just looked and
    there is one at 505 Third St in Ithaca. I'm not sure if that is the
    closest one to you.

    To find an ALDI look near a Wally-World. Their business model has them located close-by a Walm*rt Stupor Centre.

    Here in the Rochester area, that doesn't seem to be true.... pretty much
    all the ALDIs I know about parked themselves near a Wegmans... or
    possibly a TOPS market... And the Wally's aren't all that close by....

    A few years ago all three of
    our local ALDI markets were uprooted and moved to be near a
    Bentonville Behemoth. When they moved their thriving location in a "marginal" area (served by busses and within walking distance of
    several senior and low income high rises) to the outskirts of the northeast side to be across the street from Wally Whirled there was
    much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth ...... especially as the busses did not run out there.

    Around here, the buses seem to service the Walmarts in most cases....

    And when Wally's put a new Stupor Centre on the south side outskirts - guess what went in directly across the street? Besides the La Quinta (with not a Denny's in sight) and the Pizza Ranch, that is. Bv)=

    Guess it does seem to be a rule where you are, then....
