German supermarket chain Aldi a known for its no-frills approach to shopping, has opened two locations in Las Vegas.
They’re the first Aldi stores to open in the major Nevada hub.
It’s big news for a brand rapidly building out its national grocery footprint, with most current locations concentrated on the East Coast.
Aldi, which opened its first US store in 1976, has expanded from eastern New Hampshire to eastern Texas.
Only a few stores are on the West Coast, with a small some in Southern California.
The company operates more than 2,500 locations across 40 US states and plans to open 225 new stores this year alone. It opened 105 last year.
‘We’ve built our reputation on delivering real value without cutting corners,’ Aldi’s CEO, Jason Hart, said.
‘We’re growing rapidly from coast-to-coast. Opening stores in Las Vegas gives us the opportunity for continued growth in this exciting market and allows us to bring an affordable and fun grocery experience to shoppers nationwide.’
Aldi is intent on bringing this low-cost vision deeper into the western U.S.
The company announced in 2023 that it plans to open 800 new locations by 2028.
Its boldest move came in 2024, when it spent $5 billion to acquire Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores, mostly in Florida.
Aldi has said it plans to revamp and rebrand most of those stores with its signature offerings.
