Discount grocer Aldi is expanding its presence in the Southwestern United States. The company announced on Monday that it plans to open more than 180 stores by the end of 2026, pushing its total footprint to nearly 2,800 this year. Its goal is to operate about 3,200 stores by the end of 2028.
Its plans in the Southwest includes:
- Colorado: More than 50 stores are planned for the Denver and Colorado Springs markets, supported by an accompanying distribution center.
- Arizona: The grocer will open 10 new stores in the Phoenix market in 2026, with plans to add a total of 40 new stores to the market by the end of 2030.
- Las Vegas: The grocer plans to double its current store count by 2030.
Aldi operates using a no-frills model, keeping costs down by selling a limited selection of mostly private-label products in smaller stores. Locations are also staffed with relatively few employees.
