Aldi announced on Tuesday that it will open approximately 150 U.S. stores and expand curbside pickup to 300 additional stores this year.
The discount grocery chain is focusing on the Gulf Coast, where it plans to open nearly two dozen stores, along with a new regional distribution center in Alabama to support additional locations in the future. The grocer is set to debut its first store in Louisiana — its 38th state — later this month.
The announcement builds on the discount grocery chain’s progress toward becoming the third-largest grocery retailer by store count in the U.S. by the end of 2022.
