The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The business was founded by brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht in 1946, when they took over their mother's store in Essen.
- The enterprise was split into two separate groups in 1960 that later became Aldi Nord, headquartered in Essen, and Aldi Süd, headquartered in neighbouring Mülheim.
- As the business expanded internationally, the two divisions maintained this separation, dividing global markets between them, with the exception of the United States, where both operate: Aldi Süd under the Aldi name, while Aldi Nord owns Trader Joe's.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Aldi article was read about 780,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
