Aussieflyer Posted February 17, 2017 #26 Share Posted February 17, 2017 We are due there in Feb 18. Will it be open? It seems that the shop/visitors centre will remain, didn't read the article closely enough to see when this is likely to happen but would expect it not to be immediate.

Bodogbodog Posted February 17, 2017 #27 Share Posted February 17, 2017 We have liquor in our Aldi as wellHardly something to be envious of - the Kiwi supermarkets have ailes full of booze - and they sell lotto The Australia supermarkets are babes in the wood when it comes to drinking and gambling - who needs chocolate anyway?

MrYellowDuck Posted February 17, 2017 #28 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Been in there a couple of times, so where are they moving their plant to? The Phillipines or Vietnam ? Are the Australian Cadbury factories in Darwin too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct..I prefer a chilled bottled of Sauvignon Blanc to a bar of chocolate anyway. Do they still call the Kiwi Corner shop 'The Dairy? How strange.

We're still coming to grips with popping down to the "Mixed Business" - not that there are many left these days. Do like a good milk bar in the country towns too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted February 18, 2017 #35 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Don't worry, the Germans are on their way over the Tasman Sea in the U Boats.:eek: Bringing all their good tucker with them. The Aldi chocolate is very good too and half the price of Cadburys and Whitakers. We have liquor in our Aldi as well. Very good. Guten Nacht Mein Herr.:cool: Not really a big fan of Aldi chocolate.

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 18, 2017 #36 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Not really a big fan of Aldi chocolate. I don't mind it, even the cheap generic brand is nice. The lindt is best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny I'm not a big Lindt fan either, but I don't like the real rich chocolate from any company and Lindt is a bit rich for me, now the girls on the other hand.....
