Aldi is on track to become the third-largest grocery retailer in the next two years, with an announcement this week it is planning to open 100 additional stores and break ground on a new distribution center in the second quarter of 2021. With the new stores open, Aldi will have more than 2,000 stores in the US across 37 states.
“We’re incredibly proud to continue growing in all aspects of our business, from opening new stores to enhancing our e-commerce offerings, especially in light of the challenges businesses have faced in the last year,” said Jason Hart, CEO, ALDI U.S. “Our commitment to our shoppers, new and existing, is the same — we will do everything in our power to offer the lowest possible prices every day — and we look forward to supporting more communities across the country with amazing Aldi products at a value that can’t be matched.”
