Aldi Plans To Open Over 180 Stores in 2026

Aldi has stated its intention to open more than 180 stores across 31 states in 2026, with the broader plan of reaching a store count of 3,200 by the end of 2028. “One-in-three U.S. households shopped at Aldi this past year, and in 2026 we’re focused on making it even easier for customers to shop our aisles first. That means bringing Aldi to even more neighborhoods, upgrading our website and planning additional distribution centers to keep our shelves stocked with the products our shoppers love,” said Atty McGrath, CEO of Aldi U.S. (via Chain Store Age).
