Aldi is moving forward with its expansion in the Gulf Coast with the announcement of new regional headquarters and distribution centre that can support more than 100 new stores.
The new 564,000sq ft facility is Aldi’s 26th regional headquarters and distribution centre and its sixth to be opened in the southern US. It is designed to support the grocer’s rapid expansion in the region and will support locations across Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and the Florida Panhandle.
“At a time when inflation is putting pressure on American wallets, we believe our mission to save people money on the food and products they need is more important than ever,” said Heather Moore, Aldi Divisional VP for the Loxley region. “We are thrilled to see so much customer love for the 20 stores we’ve opened in the Gulf Coast area in the last year alone.”
Aldi currently operates 30 stores on the Gulf Coast, having opened 20 stores in the area last year. It plans to add another 13 stores in 2023.
