Neither Walmart nor Costco, this is the cheapest supermarket in the US: it will open 225 stores this year
Aldi has managed to position itself as one of the cheapest supermarket chains in the United States and this year it is looking to expand: it will open more than 220 stores.
With more than 2,400 stores spread across 38 states in the United States, Aldi has positioned itself as one of the most popular supermarket chains in the country, becoming one of the main competitors of other giants in the industry, such as Walmart and Costco.
According to various online comparisons, Aldi stands out for offering lower prices than its competitors. In fact, the German-based chain is one of the cheapest stores in the entire United States. This is due to a variety of factors, ranging from a more limited inventory to the prioritization of internal brands and smaller branches that imply lower rental and maintenance costs.
Aldi plans its biggest expansion in the US: it will open 225 stores this year
Thanks to the chain’s higher return on investment, its market value has increased. As part of a five-year growth strategy, Aldi plans to open a total of 225 stores in the United States. To achieve its goal, the company has reached an agreement to occupy 170 spaces that were owned by Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets.
The main store conversions will be in the southeast of the country. By opening new stores, the chain aims to increase its presence in the west, especially in California and Arizona, as well as entering new areas, such as Las Vegas.
“This is the most stores ALDI will open in one year in its nearly 50-year history in the country as more shoppers than ever look to save up to 36% on an average purchase,” reads a statement issued by the company. “ALDI continues to see more shoppers come through our doors as they experience firsthand our faster, easier and more affordable shopping experience.”
