OK, I just checked my own garmin map and the Aldi is present and searchable.

It was catched by this line in my points-file:

shop=supermarket [0x2e02 resolution 20]

Looks like some rule catched it before.

Do you have a rule for buildings or housenumbers in your points-file?
And is it above the supermarket rule?

if so, just move it somewhere below - always make sure the "more
important" rules are on top or use "continue" if you want both to be
triggered.
