"Our growth is fueled by our customers, and they are asking for more Aldi stores in their neighborhoods nationwide," commented Aldi Chief Executive Officer Jason Hart. "With up to 40 percent savings on groceries, new customers are inspired to try us out, and existing customers keep coming back. While price is important, we earn their loyalty by stocking our shelves with only the best products and offering a quicker, easier, and more enjoyable shopping experience. With this commitment to add 800 stores in the next five years, we'll be where our shoppers need us while positively impacting the communities we serve."

As part of this five-year expansion plan, Aldi will invest more than $9 billion in its national expansion, adding new locations across the country. The company will also strengthen its already strong presence in the Northeast and Midwest, according to a press release, adding nearly 330 stores across both regions by the end of 2028. The chain plans to bolster its presence in the West as well with the addition of more stores in Southern California and Phoenix and by entering new cities, like Las Vegas.

These ambitious plans also include the successful completion of Aldi’s acquisition of Southeastern Grocers (SEG) and its Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket banners, which will drive significant growth in the Southeast region over the next few years.

"With the acquisition of Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets, Aldi will serve even more communities in the Southeast, bringing us closer to our customers in a region where we've already experienced significant demand for affordable, quality groceries," said Hart. "As we look ahead to this next chapter in our company history, both the Aldi and SEG teams will play a critical role in driving the business forward for our future collective success."
