HOUSTON-Discount grocer Aldi is opening its 15th store location in the Houston area.

The Batavia, IL-based company expects to open a new store location in Humble, TX in early 2014, according to multiple press reports. The company's expansion in Houston has been impressive. It opened nine Houston locations in April of 2013. It opened its 14th store at 3100 FM Suite A in Webster last month, according to the Houston Business Journal.

Aldi plans to open a total of 30 stores in the Houston area in the next two years. The company is also working on a 650,000-square-foot distribution center and divisional headquarters in the Houston suburb of Rosenberg, TX.

The company on Dec. 20 announced the launch of an accelerated growth strategy of opening 650 new stores across the nation in the next five years. Aldi also reported its decision to build a new regional headquarters and distribution center in Moreno Valley, CA. See story in the Houston Business Journal.
