Aldi, the German retail giant, has announced it plans to add 800 new stores to its US network by 2028 through a combination of new store openings and store conversions.
The retailer is aiming to increase its presence in the Northeast and Midwest, adding nearly 300 stores in both regions by end of 2028. In the West region, it is looking to increase its store count in Southern California and Arizona, as well as entering new cities such as Las Vegas.
Commenting on the move, Aldi CEO Jason Hart said: “Our growth is fuelled by our customers, and they are asking for more Aldi stores in their neighbourhoods nationwide. […] While price is important, we earn their loyalty by stocking our shelves with only the best products and offering a quicker, easier, and more enjoyable shopping experience”.
“With this commitment to add 800 stores in the next five years, we’ll be where our shoppers need us while positively impacting the communities we serve”, he added.
The expansion includes 400 Winn-Dixie and Harveys stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi which the retailer acquired from Southeastern Grocers, in a deal announced in August last year.
