ALDI Announces $9 Billion Expansion to Add 800 Stores by 2028

The discount grocer's ambitious plan includes entering new markets and converting existing stores, aiming to offer more affordable grocery options nationwide.

ALDI plans to invest $9 billion in a five-year expansion, adding 800 new stores across the U.S. by the end of 2028.
The expansion targets new markets including Las Vegas, and strengthens presence in the Northeast, Midwest, Southern California, and Phoenix.
The acquisition of Southeastern Grocers, including Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets, supports ALDI's growth in the Southeast.
ALDI's expansion is driven by customer demand for more stores and affordable groceries, with a focus on private-label brands and efficient shopping experiences.
Sustainable features like energy-efficient lighting and solar systems will be incorporated in new and remodeled stores.
