If ALDI is part of your grocery budget strategy, a new store opening nearby could make your next shopping trip easier. The discount grocer is continuing its nationwide expansion in 2026, with plans to open more than 180 stores across 31 states. The company is also entering new markets and expanding in areas where shoppers have already embraced its lower-cost approach to groceries. Its expansion includes both new locations and stores converted from existing grocery businesses. ALDI’s official grand-opening listings provide a useful starting point for shoppers looking for new stores, although individual opening dates can change.
