Aldi, the well-known German supermarket chain, has launched an ambitious plan to strengthen its presence in the United States. With the aim of opening 800 new stores by 2028, the company seeks to establish itself as the main shopping option in the country. In a context where families are looking for more economical alternatives, Aldi has decided to significantly accelerate its growth.
During 2025, Aldi plans to open 225 stores, which will mark the largest number of openings in its history in the United States. In 2024, it had already reached a milestone by inaugurating 120 new stores, raising its total number to 2,400. With these numbers, Aldi positions itself as the third-largest supermarket chain in the country, behind the giants Walmart and Kroger.
An organic and strategic expansion
Aldi's growth has not only been organic: part of its expansion is based on the acquisition of existing assets. In recent years, the German brand purchased 170 stores from Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket, which has allowed it to accelerate its expansion. This strategy shows Aldi's interest in seizing opportunities that allow it to expand more efficiently.
With this move, Aldi has opted for a growth strategy that not only focuses on opening new stores but also on transforming all acquired assets. This way, the brand continues to consolidate its presence and expand across the U.S. territory more strongly.
The Southeast of the United States, key in its expansion
The Southeast of the United States has become one of the most important regions for Aldi. This area has shown high population growth, making it an attractive market for the chain, which seeks to meet the growing demand for economical options. Aldi has managed to capture the attention of consumers in this area, which has been key to its success.
However, Aldi doesn't stop in the Southeast. The company is already beginning to strengthen its presence in other areas of the country with high growth potential, such as the Northeast, the Midwest, California, and Arizona. One of Aldi's most recent milestones was the opening of two stores in Las Vegas on April 24, 2025.
Aldi, the economical option of the future
This expansion plan shows that Aldi not only wants to increase its presence but also become an attractive alternative for American consumers seeking low prices and quality. In such a competitive market, Aldi has positioned itself as a reliable and accessible option, especially in difficult times for families.
Aldi continues to make its mark on the U.S. market, proving that efficiency, accessibility, and consumer focus are key to its success. This is just the beginning of a change in the country's retail landscape, with Aldi as one of the most important protagonists.
