Episode 94: The Albrecht Family (Trader Joe’s/Aldi)
🕑 Added 2019-08-29 03:46:25 +0000 UTCOn this episode we discuss the secretive German family behind the grocery stores Aldi's and Trader Joe's. We dive into the Albrect brothers that fought for Germany during this war against the world during the 40's. A kidnapping of one of the brothers shook him into becoming the money hungry hoarder he dies as, The heirs to these billionaires have been scolded for spending too much money, and some have even been cut out of the will. All of this plus the cheap ways this family continues to get away with corruption coming up on Grubstakers.
Here is a Mashed video that features some of the corruption covered on this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb8bENaDqNY

Are those solar panels going to catch fire like the ones Tesla installed at Wal-Mart?
If you have ever been inside a Trader Joe's, you could be forgiven for believing that Joe himself is traveling around the globe negotiating good prices with various independent producers. After the third visit you would probably wonder how, if there is anything to that story, they have the exact same products in stock all of the time.
social credit system isn't real, unlike our credit scores, which absolutely are

I've only listened to the first half so far, so I'm mad at Bill Cosby but not Trader Joe's yet.
Lol, I'm in the middle of putting solar on a bunch of Aldi properties
I desperately wanted to play that bit in the episode but it feels a bit tacky to play somebody else’s comedy in your own podcast. Still, great bit. - Andy

Before this episode all I knew about Trade Joe's came from Kyle Kinane's fantasy TJ universe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaW2VuJvCf4
