  Aldi
• 0:56
  is
• 0:56
  America's
• 0:56
  fastest
• 0:57
  growing
• 0:57
  grocer,
• 0:58
  but
• 0:58
  built
• 0:58
  on
• 0:59
  a
• 0:59
  model
• 0:59
  of
• 0:59
  simplicity
• 1:00
  and
• 1:00
  low
• 1:01
  cost.
• 1:01
  So
• 1:01
  are
• 1:01
  you
• 1:02
  buying
• 1:02
  or
• 1:02
  selling
• 1:03
  Aldi
• 1:03
  going
• 1:03
  all

  in

  Instacart

  as

• 1:07
  as

  the

  right
• 1:07
  term,
• 1:08
  right
• 1:08
  long
• 1:08
  term
• 1:09
  play
• 1:09
  for
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  brand?
• 1:09
  Or
• 1:10
  is
• 1:10
  Aldi
• 1:10
  seeding
• 1:11
  too
• 1:11
  much
• 1:11
  control
• 1:11
  of
• 1:11
  its
• 1:11
  destiny
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  a
• 1:12
  third
• 1:12
  party?
• 1:13
  Ooh,
• 1:14
  wow.
• 1:14
  That's
• 1:14
  a
• 1:14
  great
• 1:15
  question.
• 1:15
  I
• 1:15
  can't
• 1:15
  wait
• 1:15
  to
• 1:15
  hear
• 1:15
  what
• 1:16
  you
• 1:16
  think
• 1:16
  given
• 1:16
  that
• 1:16
  you
• 1:17
  used
• 1:17
  to
• 1:17
  work
• 1:17
  at
• 1:17
  Aldi.
• 1:18
  But
• 1:18
  you
• 1:19
  know,
• 1:19
  overall,
• 1:19
  Jenna,
• 1:20
  I
• 1:20
  think
• 1:20
  I'm,
• 1:20
  I
• 1:21
  think
• 1:21
  I'm
• 1:21
  buying,
• 1:21
  I
• 1:21
  think
• 1:21
  I'm
• 1:22
  buying
• 1:22
  this.
• 1:23
  You
• 1:23
  know,
• 1:23
  I
• 1:24
  but
• 1:24
  I
• 1:25
  will
• 1:25
  say
• 1:25
  this
• 1:25
  with
• 1:25
  a
• 1:25
  big,
• 1:26
  big
• 1:26
  caveat,
• 1:27
  you
• 1:27
  know,
• 1:27
  for
• 1:28
  those
• 1:28
  listening,
• 1:28
  I
• 1:29
  love
• 1:29
  this
• 1:29
  move
• 1:29
  for
• 1:30
  Aldi
• 1:30
  and
• 1:31
  Aldi
• 1:31
  alone
• 1:32
  because
• 1:32
  Aldi
• 1:33
  is
• 1:33
  all
• 1:33
  about
• 1:34
  price
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  that
• 1:35
  is
• 1:36
  why
• 1:36
  it's
• 1:36
  growing
• 1:37
  to
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  extent
• 1:37
  that
• 1:38
  it
• 1:38
  is.
• 1:38
  You
• 1:38
  said
• 1:38
  it's
• 1:38
  the
• 1:39
  fastest
• 1:39
  growing
• 1:39
  grocer
• 1:40
  right
• 1:40
  now.
• 1:40
  That's
• 1:40
  true.
• 1:41
  And
• 1:41
  so
• 1:41
  like
• 1:42
  and
• 1:42
  it's
• 1:42
  because
• 1:42
  it's
• 1:43
  about
• 1:43
  price
• 1:43
  and
• 1:43
  the
• 1:44
  simplicity
• 1:44
  of
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  experience.
• 1:45
  So
• 1:45
  online
• 1:46
  is
• 1:47
  an
• 1:47
  online
• 1:47
  for
• 1:48
  Aldi
• 1:48
  is
• 1:48
  likely
• 1:49
  going
• 1:49
  to
• 1:49
  be
• 1:49
  an
• 1:49
  expense
• 1:50
  distraction
• 1:51
  to
• 1:52
  them
• 1:52
  and
• 1:52
  it
• 1:53
  will
• 1:53
  never
• 1:53
  be
• 1:53
  the
• 1:54
  core
• 1:54
  of
• 1:54
  what
• 1:54
  Aldi
• 1:55
  offers
• 1:56
  its
• 1:56
  people,
• 1:56
  its
• 1:57
  customers.
• 1:58
  And
• 1:58
  Aldi's
• 1:59
  job
• 1:59
  is
• 1:59
  to
• 1:59
  limit
• 2:00
  distractions
• 2:00
  and
• 2:01
  constantly
• 2:01
  reinvest
• 2:03
  whatever
• 2:03
  they
• 2:03
  can
• 2:04
  into
• 2:04
  offering
• 2:05
  great
• 2:05
  prices.
• 2:05
  That's
• 2:06
  how
• 2:06
  they
• 2:06
  think
• 2:06
  about
• 2:06
  their
• 2:07
  business.
• 2:07
  That
• 2:07
  is
• 2:08
  what
• 2:08
  it
• 2:08
  does
• 2:08
  best.
• 2:08
  So,
• 2:09
  so
• 2:09
  offloading
• 2:10
  its
• 2:10
  E
• 2:10
  Commerce
• 2:10
  front
• 2:10
  end
• 2:11
  and
• 2:11
  delivery
• 2:11
  and
• 2:11
  pickup
• 2:12
  to
• 2:12
  a
• 2:12
  third
• 2:12
  party
• 2:12
  like
• 2:12
  Instacart
• 2:14
  that
• 2:14
  takes
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  headache
• 2:15
  off
• 2:15
  the
• 2:15
  plate
• 2:16
  allows
• 2:16
  them
• 2:16
  to
• 2:16
  compete
• 2:17
  as
• 2:17
  they
• 2:17
  always
• 2:17
  have.
• 2:18
  And
• 2:19
  but
• 2:19
  sadly
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  this
• 2:20
  is
• 2:20
  where
• 2:20
  the
• 2:20
  caveat
• 2:21
  comes
• 2:21
  in.
• 2:21
  I
• 2:21
  don't
• 2:22
  think
• 2:22
  that
• 2:22
  same
• 2:22
  calculus
• 2:23
  works
• 2:23
  for
• 2:23
  regional
• 2:24
  grocers
• 2:24
  because
• 2:25
  their
• 2:25
  value
• 2:25
  tends
• 2:26
  to
• 2:26
  come
• 2:26
  from
• 2:27
  multiple
• 2:27
  dimensions.
• 2:28
  It's
• 2:29
  never
• 2:29
  just
• 2:29
  about
• 2:29
  price
• 2:30
  for
• 2:30
  them.
• 2:30
  And
• 2:31
  so
• 2:31
  they
• 2:31
  have
• 2:31
  to
• 2:31
  think
• 2:32
  about
• 2:32
  how
• 2:32
  do
• 2:32
  they
• 2:32
  control
• 2:32
  their
• 2:33
  destiny
• 2:33
  more,
• 2:34
  you
• 2:34
  know,
• 2:35
  how
• 2:35
  they
• 2:35
  need
• 2:35
  to
• 2:36
  think
• 2:36
  about
• 2:36
  how
• 2:36
  they
• 2:36
  keep
• 2:36
  more
• 2:37
  control
• 2:37
  over
• 2:37
  their
• 2:38
  destiny
• 2:38
  going
• 2:38
  forward.
• 2:39
  So.
• 2:39
  And
• 2:40
  of
• 2:40
  course
• 2:40
  the
• 2:40
  front
• 2:40
  end
• 2:41
  is
• 2:41
  very
• 2:41
  different
• 2:41
  from
• 2:41
  who
• 2:41
  does
• 2:42
  your
• 2:42
  shipping,
• 2:42
  your
• 2:42
  picking
• 2:43
  and
• 2:43
  packing
• 2:43
  and
• 2:43
  all
• 2:43
  that.
• 2:44
  But
• 2:44
  it's
• 2:45
  not
• 2:45
  as
• 2:45
  easy
• 2:45
  an
• 2:45
  equation
• 2:46
  for
• 2:46
  them
• 2:46
  as
• 2:46
  it
• 2:46
  is
• 2:46
  for
• 2:46
  Aldi.
• 2:47
  But
• 2:47
  Jenna,
• 2:47
  what
• 2:47
  do
• 2:48
  you
• 2:48
  think?
• 2:48
  Yeah,
• 2:49
  I
• 2:49
  think
• 2:49
  so
• 2:49
  too.
• 2:50
  I'm
• 2:50
  buying
• 2:50
  this
• 2:50
  as
• 2:50
  well,
• 2:51
  but
• 2:51
  I
• 2:51
  agree
• 2:51
  only
• 2:52
  because
• 2:52
  it's
• 2:52
  Aldi.
• 2:53
  They
• 2:53
  went
• 2:53
  on
• 2:54
  two
• 2:54
  things,
• 2:54
  simplicity
• 2:55
  and
• 2:55
  price.
• 2:55
  And
• 2:56
  they're
• 2:56
  better
• 2:56
  than
• 2:56
  anyone
• 2:57
  at
• 2:57
  it.
• 2:58
  But
• 2:58
  building
• 2:58
  a
• 2:59
  best
• 2:59
  in
• 2:59
  class
• 2:59
  digital
• 3:00
  experience
• 3:00
  in
• 3:01
  house
• 3:01
  would
• 3:01
  completely
• 3:02
  distract
• 3:02
  them
• 3:02
  from
• 3:02
  that.
• 3:03
  So
• 3:03
  I
• 3:03
  think
• 3:03
  this
• 3:03
  is
• 3:04
  a
• 3:04
  stay
• 3:04
  in
• 3:04
  your
• 3:04
  lane
• 3:04
  move.
• 3:05
  Let
• 3:05
  Instacart
• 3:06
  handle
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  complexity
• 3:06
  and
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  logistics
• 3:07
  and
• 3:07
  the
• 3:08
  tech
• 3:08
  and
• 3:08
  then
• 3:09
  Aldi
• 3:09
  can
• 3:09
  continue
• 3:09
  focusing
• 3:10
  on
• 3:10
  that
• 3:10
  cost
• 3:11
  leadership
• 3:11
  like
• 3:11
  you
• 3:11
  said.
• 3:12
  But
• 3:12
  there
• 3:12
  is
• 3:13
  a
• 3:13
  trade
• 3:13
  off.
• 3:13
  They're
• 3:14
  absolutely
• 3:14
  giving
• 3:14
  up
• 3:14
  the
• 3:15
  control
• 3:15
  of
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  customer
• 3:16
  data
• 3:16
  and
• 3:16
  experience
• 3:17
  to
• 3:17
  a
• 3:17
  degree
• 3:17
  and
• 3:18
  long
• 3:18
  term
• 3:18
  that
• 3:19
  matters.
• 3:19
  So
• 3:20
  I
• 3:20
  think
• 3:20
  short
• 3:20
  term,
• 3:20
  it's
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  huge
• 3:21
  win.
• 3:22
  I'm
• 3:22
  only
• 3:22
  on
• 3:23
  board,
• 3:23
  I
• 3:23
  think,
• 3:23
  because
• 3:23
  it's
• 3:24
  Aldi.
• 3:24
  Like
• 3:24
  you
• 3:25
  said,
• 3:25
  not
• 3:25
  every
• 3:25
  grocer
• 3:26
  can
• 3:26
  do
• 3:26
  this.
• 3:26
  Most
• 3:27
  don't
• 3:27
  have
• 3:27
  Aldi's
• 3:28
  brand
• 3:28
  clarity.
• 3:29
  And,
• 3:29
  but
• 3:30
  for
• 3:30
  Aldi,
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  think
• 3:30
  that's
• 3:31
  a,
• 3:31
  it's
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  disciplined
• 3:32
  strategy
• 3:32
  and
• 3:32
  it's
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  right
• 3:33
  move.
• 3:33
  Yeah.
• 3:34
  Jen,
• 3:34
  I'm
• 3:34
  curious
• 3:35
  too.
• 3:35
  I
• 3:35
  don't
• 3:35
  know
• 3:35
  if
• 3:35
  you
• 3:35
  know
• 3:36
  this
• 3:36
  or
• 3:36
  even
• 3:36
  can
• 3:36
  share
• 3:36
  it,
• 3:36
  but
• 3:37
  like,
• 3:37
  do
• 3:37
  you
• 3:37
  have
• 3:37
  any
• 3:37
  idea
• 3:37
  of,
• 3:37
  like,
• 3:38
  I'm
• 3:38
  curious,
• 3:38
  like,
• 3:39
  what
• 3:39
  percent
• 3:39
  of
• 3:40
  all
• 3:40
  these
• 3:40
  businesses
• 3:41
  actually
• 3:41
  digitally
• 3:42
  penetrated
• 3:42
  too?
• 3:42
  Like,
• 3:42
  I
• 3:43
  gotta
• 3:43
  think
• 3:43
  it's
• 3:43
  less
• 3:44
  than
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  average,
• 3:45
  you
• 3:45
  know,
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  average
• 3:46
  grocer
• 3:46
  out
• 3:46
  there.
• 3:46
  But
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  don't
• 3:47
  know.
• 3:47
  Yeah,
• 3:48
  you
• 3:48
  know,
• 3:48
  I
• 3:48
  don't
• 3:48
  know
• 3:48
  the
• 3:49
  details
• 3:49
  behind
• 3:49
  it.
• 3:49
  It's
• 3:50
  been
• 3:50
  a
• 3:50
  little
• 3:50
  while
• 3:50
  since
• 3:50
  I've
• 3:51
  been
• 3:51
  there.
• 3:51
  I
• 3:51
  was
• 3:51
  there
• 3:52
  when
• 3:52
  they
• 3:52
  started
• 3:52
  Instacart
• 3:53
  in
• 3:53
  2017
• 3:54
  and
• 3:54
  it
• 3:54
  was
• 3:54
  a
• 3:55
  fun
• 3:55
  rollout,
• 3:55
  but,
• 3:56
  you
• 3:57
  know,
• 3:57
  I
• 3:57
  don't
• 3:57
  know
• 3:57
  how
• 3:57
  much
• 3:57
  it's
• 3:58
  grown
• 3:58
  since
• 3:58
  then.
• 3:59
  Yeah,
• 3:59
  yeah.
• 4:00
  But
• 4:00
  I
• 4:00
  think
• 4:00
  that
• 4:00
  that
• 4:00
  hypothesis
• 4:01
  at
• 4:01
  least
• 4:01
  seems,
• 4:02
  seems
• 4:02
  rational
• 4:02
  to
• 4:02
  me.
• 4:03
  I
• 4:03
  think
• 4:03
  so
• 4:03
  basically.
• 4:04
  So
• 4:04
  basically
• 4:04
  we're
• 4:05
  pretty
• 4:05
  aligned
• 4:05
  on
• 4:05
  this
• 4:05
  show
• 4:06
  so
• 4:06
  far.
• 4:06
  No,
• 4:06
  no
• 4:07
  big,
• 4:07
  no
• 4:08
  big
• 4:08
  disagreements
• 4:09
  here,
• 4:09
  Jed.
• 4:09
  I
• 4:09
  don't,
• 4:09
  I
• 4:10
  don't
• 4:10
  know.
• 4:10
  We're
• 4:10
  gonna
• 4:10
  have
• 4:10
  to
• 4:10
  see
• 4:10
  if
• 4:11
  we
• 4:11
  can't,
• 4:11
  can't
• 4:11
  so
• 4:12
  find
• 4:12
  some
• 4:12
  area
• 4:12
  to,
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  get
• 4:13
  into
• 4:14
  some
• 4:14
  debate
• 4:14
  here.
