ALDI to Add 800 US Stores By 2029
It is adding more stores in Southern California and Phoenix and entering new cities such as Las Vegas.
ALDI announced plans last week that it would add 800 stores nationwide by the end of 2028 through a combination of new openings and store conversions.
This five-year expansion plan involves a $9 billion investment.
ALDI also announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Southeastern Grocers and its Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket banners, which will play a key part in its expansion, especially in the Southeast region over the next few years.
Starting mid-summer, Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets will begin converting to the ALDI format.
ALDI also is adding nearly 330 stores across the Northeast and Midwest by 2028, solidifying its already strong market share in those areas.
It will also grow its presence in the West by adding more stores in Southern California and Phoenix — and by entering new cities such as Las Vegas.
Last year, Aldi opened 109 of the 120 stores they had planned, bringing its store count to 2,400.
JLL recently reported that other major national grocery store operators such as Publix and Sprouts continued to grow their portfolios in 2023, keeping good on their announcements for most stores in 2023.
Publix opened 38 new stores and Sprouts opened 30. Rival Grocery Outlet opened 29 new stores.
