Aldi's Ambitious Plan: 800 New Stores Across the US by 2028

Aldi, the German-owned grocery chain, plans to add 800 new stores in the U.S. over the next five years, with expansions in the Northeast, Midwest, western U.S., and Southern California. The company will also convert many Winn-Dixie and Harveys locations in the Southeast into Aldis, following its acquisition of Southeastern Grocers. Known for its lower prices and private-label selections, Aldi's ambitious growth plans pose a threat to established players, especially in Southeastern markets, and are expected to impact the U.S. grocery retail landscape significantly.
