"Aldi is quickly becoming one of the most popular grocery stores in the U.S. In 2026, it plans to capitalize on this popularity by opening 180 new stores in 31 states, expanding on its existing footprint of 2,200 stores across the country. But Aldi's business model (which revolves around selling quality private-label products for budget prices) isn't just successful in America, it's also a hit across the pond in the U.K., too. In fact, Aldi is actually the country's fourth largest supermarket."
"We scanned both Aldi U.S. and Aldi U.K. to figure out what items are sold in Britain but not America. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this included several British staples like crumpets and Marmite, but Aldi U.K. also has quite an impressive plant-based range and a pretty innovative approach to reducing food waste by selling imperfect produce.

Aldi plans to open 180 new U.S. stores in 31 states in 2026, expanding a current footprint of 2,200 stores. The business model centers on selling quality private-label products at budget prices. Aldi also operates successfully in the U.K., where it ranks as the fourth largest supermarket. U.S. and U.K. stores differ in product offerings due to adaptability. Aldi U.K. stocks British staples such as crumpets and Marmite, offers a notable plant-based range, and sells imperfect produce to reduce food waste. Some U.K.-exclusive items, like sourdough crumpets, are absent from Aldi U.S.
