Aldi announced on Twitter last night that they are asking that customers do not openly carry firearms in their stores. This statement comes after a wave of other companies —including Walmart, Kroger and Walgreens — revamped their gun policies.
In their statement, the German grocer famous for their store-brand products said they "are asking that our customers refrain from openly displaying firearms in any of our stores, except for authorized law enforcement personnel."

Re: Aldi's grocery chain joins the "no open carry" chorus
This is open carry, not concealed. No sign posted on my local Aldi and I was just there this morning.
God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
Carrying a gun is a right, not a crime.
Gun control is racist.

I go to 3 different Aldi. I've never seen a sign.

Re: Aldi's grocery chain joins the "no open carry" chorus
I believe many of them used to post. Then a customer with a CHL saved the day when one of their employees was held at gunpoint. I recall they actually brought down their signs after that. I haven't seen a sign anywhere since then.

I've been in a few in my local area, and a couple of them in Fl, and I've never seen any of them posted.

Up until 2011 when I left Ohio the Stow Aldi was posted.
Frankly, I'm not surprised, since Aldi is a German owned company and they are definitely not personal protection empathetic.
