Aldi is planning to expand its operations in the United States with more than 225 stores across the country
As part of the next stage of its five-year growth strategy, Aldi US intends to open more than 225 locations nationwide this year. Organic expansion and the conversion of a few Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket locations to the Aldi model are among the openings. Through 2027, the business intends to convert about 220 Southeastern Grocers sites to Aldi. By the end of this year, almost 100 converted establishments will reopen. About 170 Winn-Dixie and Harveys supermarket locations that are unaffected by the conversion will be sold to a group that includes private investors, senior management from Southeastern Grocers, and C&S Wholesale Grocers.
According to Aldi, this divestiture enables it to develop a targeted portfolio in the Southeast as it moves forward with its plans for nationwide expansion. With additional outlets in Southern California and Arizona, the company intends to increase its presence in the West, penetrate new markets like Las Vegas, and broaden its reach in the Northeast and Midwest. Jason Hart, the CEO of Aldi, stated that they promised to maintain a sizable number of Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets while also supporting Aldi’s growth when they announced their acquisition of Southeastern Grocers, and they are doing just that. With over 2400 locations and approximately 120 new openings in the last year, the company, led by C&S Wholesale Grocers and Southeastern Grocers, has proven great quality, service, and value to customers.
