Overview

  • The company set a five-year plan to reach nearly 2,800 U.S. locations by the end of 2026 and 3,200 by 2028.
  • More than 180 stores are slated across 31 states this year, supported by new distribution centers in Florida, Arizona and Colorado.
  • Aldi will broaden online ordering through partners including Instacart, DoorDash and Uber Eats.
  • U.S. CEO Atty McGrath said one in three households shopped at Aldi last year, underscoring demand for lower-priced private labels.
  • Aldi’s entrenched footprint gives it a sizable lead over Lidl’s roughly 200 U.S. stores, while some economists expect tariff effects to ease later in 2026.
