Overview
- A partnership announced Friday between ALDI South Group and Landini Associates sets a single, modular store format to roll out across the U.S., Australia, Germany, the U.K., Ireland, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Slovenia and Switzerland.
- The company began U.S. trials in Aventura, Florida in September 2025, with further testing and local refinements continuing through 2026.
- Shoppers will see a streamlined layout with standardized shelving, clearer signs, updated price language and refreshed in‑store visuals to make trips quicker and simpler.
- The rollout aligns with expansion targets that include more than 180 new U.S. stores in 2026 and a goal of roughly 3,200 by the end of 2028, along with converting nearly 80 former Southeastern Grocers locations.
- The format’s modular design lets ALDI test different footprints, including smaller corner‑style sites for dense areas, and it pairs with a 2025 private‑label packaging refresh and a planned U.S. website update for a more unified experience.
