Also a good reminder that it's pronounced 'ah dee das'.
For Adolf "Adi" Dassler. Puma was his brother Rudolf "Rudi"

You are correct on the pronunciation. "adidas" is not a plural.
No connection between Lidl and Aldi

Yes, Aldi Nord owns Trader Joes. Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud are like Puma and adidas.
And Aldi Süd operates the Aldi stores in the US. *
