Albrecht Diskont was the retail brand operated by Karl and Theo Albrecht in Germany prior to the establishment of Aldi. It is credited with pioneering the 'hard discount' model, focusing on a limited selection of high-turnover goods at low prices. The brand was phased out in the early 1960s when the company split into Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd.
