Aldi Switzerland: Products, Prices and What You Need to Know
Aldi Suisse runs about 244 stores in Switzerland, below the 260 it targeted, and each one carries roughly 1,300 products (Aldi Suisse, Blick, February 2026). Nielsen put its 2024 revenue at about CHF 2.5 billion against Lidl at CHF 2.7 billion. There is no loyalty card and no nationwide web shop.

When Aldi opened its first four stores in Switzerland in 2005 (in Weinfelden, Amriswil, Altenrhein and Gebenstorf), the market changed forever. For the first time, Swiss shoppers had access to genuinely low prices: no frills, no loyalty cards, no complicated programmes. The shelf price was the price, full stop.
Twenty years on, Aldi is at a crossroads. It still has some of the lowest prices in Switzerland, virtually identical to Lidl in every independent test. But it's closing city-centre stores, Lidl has overtaken it in revenue (roughly CHF 2.7 billion vs 2.5 billion in 2024 per Nielsen), and the discount model that works in the suburbs doesn't work the same way in premium locations.
This doesn't mean Aldi isn't worth it. It means it's worth knowing when and for what.

Online shopping is the one real gap: Aldi Suisse closed its delivery service ALDI now in 2026 (20 Minuten and Blick, both 23 August 2026), so Aldi groceries are bought in store. What happened to the service is in our ALDI now guide.
Aldi’s Swiss assortment is tight by design, a few thousand SKUs vs Migros’s 40k+. Every Aldi Aktion this week is below; one tap to compare against Lidl or Denner.

Prices: Where Aldi Comes Out Ahead
In the independent basket tests of 2024 and 2025 below, Aldi ranks among the two cheapest supermarkets in Switzerland, alongside Lidl:
- K-Tipp 100 products (Aug 2025): Aldi first at CHF 230.94 (Lidl second at CHF 232.83)
- RTS 30 products (2024): Aldi second at CHF 166.59 (Lidl first at CHF 162.05)
- Blick 40 products (April 2024): Aldi second at CHF 66.69 (Lidl first at CHF 66.64)
The gap between Aldi and Lidl is usually under 1%. The bigger gap is to Migros and Coop: in the K-Tipp basket of 100 everyday products (August 2025), they came to 5.5 and 8.6 percent more than Aldi.
Strong: everyday staples, imported fruit and vegetables, cleaning products, frozen food.
Weak: small range (~1,300 items vs ~13,000 at Migros), no in-store bakery like Lidl's, no loyalty programme, no free credit card.
What's Happening at Aldi in 2026
Aldi is closing premium-location stores: Glattzentrum (after just 2 years), Baden station, Bern city centre, Wabern, Zurich Sihlstrasse near Bahnhofstrasse (after 5 years). It also pulled out of Basel SBB before even opening.
Insiders speak of 16 closures total. Aldi denies specific numbers but confirms it is «optimising the store network».
The reason: the discount model works in suburban locations with parking and big weekly shops. It doesn't work in city centres with high rents and small purchases.
Lidl is doing the opposite: expanding into cities and malls, targeting 300 stores.
The Organic Range: A Surprise
«Retour aux sources» exceeds Bio Suisse and Demeter standards in some areas. Aldi's organic vegetables aren't fertilised with slaughterhouse waste: a practice still common in conventional organic production. «Retour aux sources» offers organic products cheaper than Migros/Coop. In January 2023 the Price Supervisor criticised Migros and Coop for taking a bigger markup on organic products than on comparable conventional ones in four of the five cases examined.
Is Aldi Worth It?
Yes if: you have a convenient Aldi (not city centre), you do a weekly shop with a list, you mainly buy basics, and you want low prices without hassle.
Less so if: you need a wide range, use promotions and loyalty programmes, shop online, or only have an inconvenient Aldi nearby.
The trick: Aldi works brilliantly for staples (fruit, veg, dairy, frozen, cleaning). For everything else (meat on promotion, coffee, wine, special products), combine it with deals from other supermarkets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Aldi the cheapest supermarket in Switzerland?
In the K-Tipp basket of 100 everyday products (August 2025), Aldi had the lowest total at CHF 230.94, just ahead of Lidl at CHF 232.83; Migros and Coop came to 5.5 and 8.6 percent more. In the RTS basket (April 2024), Lidl was just ahead of Aldi.
Why is Aldi closing stores?
City-centre locations with high rents don't fit the discount model. Suburban stores with parking and large weekly shops continue to perform well.
Aldi or Lidl?
Prices nearly identical. Lidl has Lidl Plus (loyalty programme) and a better in-store bakery. Aldi is simpler with no app required. For the full side by side, see the Lidl vs Aldi article.
Aldi Switzerland: what does it stock and what do the prices look like?
Each store carries roughly 1,300 products (Aldi Suisse), including the retour aux sources organic line with 63 products (2024). There is no loyalty card and, since Aldi Suisse closed ALDI now in 2026, no online delivery. On price, independent tests put Aldi first or second, virtually tied with Lidl: in the K-Tipp basket of 100 products in August 2025, Aldi came first at CHF 230.94 and Lidl second at CHF 232.83. The store count stood at about 244 in February 2026, below the 260 target.
Does Aldi have an online shop in Switzerland?
No. Aldi Suisse closed its home-delivery service ALDI now in 2026 (20 Minuten and Blick, both 23 August 2026), and there is no Aldi web shop for groceries, so Aldi groceries are bought in store. Our ALDI now guide explains the closure and who still delivers.
