"Since it made its stateside debut in 1976, Americans have developed a steady appreciation for the often unconventional approaches of Aldi grocery stores. We've learned to carry a quarter in our pockets for the shopping carts, learned to bring a gaggle of green bags while we shop, and discovered that our relationship with food isn't always about a fancy label but about quality and affordability."
"Aldi is already the third-largest grocery store chain by store count in the United States, with approximately 2,600 locations, according to data from ScrapeHero, but the chain has plans for even a couple of hundred more. Between 2024 and 2028, Aldi plans to open 800 storefronts across the country, including new locations in nine different states. The company not only acquired Southeastern Grocers with its Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket banners but also plans to invest over $9 billion in bringing more Aldi locations to fruition,"
"According to an official press release, the grocer "is unveiling its largest packaging refresh to date, putting its name on every product, and launching its first-ever namesake brand." The purpose of this refresh is to make it simpler for Aldi shoppers to know they're picking up a store-exclusive brand."
Aldi operates roughly 2,600 U.S. stores and ranks as the third-largest grocery chain by store count. The company plans to open 800 additional storefronts from 2024 to 2028, invest more than $9 billion, and has acquired Southeastern Grocers with Winn‑Dixie and Harveys banners. The first Central Manhattan location near Times Square is slated for 2026. More than 90% of items are Aldi-exclusive. The retailer is launching its largest packaging refresh, applying the Aldi name to every product and introducing a namesake brand to make store-exclusive products easier to identify. Shoppers should expect expanded footprint and updated packaging in 2026.
