ALDI retains Supermarket of the Year title for fourth year in a row

Supermarkets are more than just a place for shoppers to get their goods; they are also a battleground for customer loyalty.

This year, one name has risen above the rest as the go-to supermarket of Aussies nationwide.


German supermarket chain ALDI was crowned champion in the Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards.

The Roy Morgan Customer Satisfaction Awards result from meticulous research and analysis, with over 60,000 customers surveyed across retail, finance, telecommunications and various industries.

To qualify for the awards, brands must have a sample size of at least 100 customers, ensuring the results are robust and reflect true consumer sentiment.

The survey reached out to over 33,000 shoppers who shared their experiences with some of the biggest names in the business—Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, Foodland, and IGA.

The participants rated their satisfaction with these retailers on a scale ranging from 'very satisfied' to 'not at all satisfied', providing their 'honest, unvarnished' opinions.

ALDI's triumph is not a one-time thing; this is the fourth consecutive year the supermarket has secured the top spot.

ALDI Australia's Group Director Simon Padovani-Ginies takes pride in the achievement.

'We have never been more aware of the need to continue to deliver on our promise to offer Aussies the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices,' he said.


Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine emphasised the importance of genuine customer feedback in determining their winners.

'Each month, we calculate monthly customer satisfaction winners in each of the categories as the year unfolds, and the annual award goes to the company with the most monthly wins,' she shared.

ALDI aside, Roy Morgan awarded several major establishments this year, with Commonwealth Bank dubbed the Best Major Bank.

RAA was named Major General Insurer of the Year, and Myer was voted the Department Store of the Year.

Aussie Broadband also claimed the Internet Service Provider of the Year.

ALDI's victory reflects a broader trend in consumer behaviour, where value for money is increasingly becoming a deciding factor in where shoppers spend their hard-earned dollars.

With the rising cost of living, Australians are more conscious than ever of getting the best bang for their buck, and ALDI's business model resonates with this sentiment.

For shoppers always looking for quality and value, ALDI's recognition is a reminder that shopping smart doesn't mean compromising on quality.

I haven’t jumped on the Aldi bandwagon.
“…shopping smart doesn’t mean compromising on quality.” Hmm, I think I shop smart for my needs.
Happy shopping everyone. 😀
Sounds like you don't need to buy at ALDI because you have a lot of $'s. And nothing wrong with the quality at Aldi. Heaps better than the other supermarkets.
 
No surprise there. Coles and Woolies are appallingly expensive, con you into thinking you're getting a bargain with their laege, bright ticket pricing which, if you look underneath, is the same price as the original shelf price, diminishing brands the customers like to push what they want you to buy (ie the brands with the highest profit margin) and all the other other dirty tricks they get up to (too many to name). They either think we're stupid ir simply don't care because they have the upper hand and government assistance. Don't let the phony government inquiries fool you. They're just "lip service" to the public. The only things that will break the cycles are to break up the supermarkets (and other conglomerateslike Bunnings), make cartels illegal like in the USA and allow more competition in. Then the public may stand a chance of winning.
 
Don't buy their fruit or vegies as they are 2nd grade and don't store well, don't buy their specials, and don't buy their electrical products.

I really thought that Coles and WW would get an award for the biggest BS artists and ripoff stores. I'd love to know which one is the worst.

Funny you say that: I found Aldi s fruit and veggies fresher than those I get at Coles in the same shopping centre. But than again: not all Coles supermarkets are the same! One of the things I like about Aldi: the layout of the stores is almost identical, so no matter where i am I know where to find things and can be in and out fast!
