Aldi Expands U.S. Store Footprint

Aldi plans to open more than 180 new stores by the end of 2026, continuing its aggressive U.S. expansion after a record year of openings. The retailer announced a new growth phase tied to its previously disclosed $9 billion investment strategy, signaling sustained confidence in the American grocery market.

As part of the expansion, Aldi will enter new markets in Colorado and Maine, open three additional distribution centers, and continue growing its footprint across the Southeast. Headquartered in Batavia, Illinois, the company is marking its 50th year in the U.S. and expects to operate nearly 2,800 stores by the end of 2026, with plans to reach approximately 3,200 locations by 2028. Store openings planned for 2026 will span 31 states.
