Overview
- Aldi confirmed more than 180 new stores across 31 states this year, guiding its U.S. footprint to roughly 2,800 locations by year-end and 3,200 by 2028.
- The five-year plan includes new distribution centers in Florida, Arizona and Colorado plus early-2026 upgrades to delivery via Instacart, DoorDash and Uber Eats and a redesigned website.
- Executives say the chain is reaching more shoppers, with U.S. CEO Atty McGrath reporting that one in three American households shopped at Aldi last year.
- The retailer plans to add new territory, with reporting pointing to entries into states such as Maine and Colorado alongside broader logistics investments.
- Analysts link Aldi’s momentum to higher food costs tied to inflation and President Trump’s tariffs, dynamics that have steered budget-focused consumers toward discounters.
