Aldi on Mallorca: Expansion with Opportunities — and Open Questions

Answer

Could Aldi’s expansion affect small shops in Mallorca?

That is one of the main concerns around the chain’s growth. Larger supermarkets can draw customers away from smaller shops and traditional markets, especially in town centres and busy peripheral areas. The effect will depend on how many new stores open and how local authorities manage traffic, land use and delivery access.
