How to Find an ALDI Location Near You
There are four easy ways to find a store, and each one is handy in a slightly different situation.
1. ALDI Store Locator (Most Accurate)
Go to aldi.us, open the store locator, and enter your ZIP code, city, or address. This is the most up-to-date source for exact addresses, store hours, and whether a location offers curbside pickup.
2. ALDI App
Download the ALDI app for iOS or Android, set your location, and see nearby stores along with the current weekly ad and ALDI Finds. The app can also help you check products before you drive over.
3. Google Maps
Search “ALDI near me” in Google Maps for the closest stores with hours, directions, and reviews. This is the fastest option when you are already on the road.
4. Phone
If you prefer to call, ALDI’s customer service line can help you confirm a specific store’s location or hours.
How Many ALDI Stores Are There?
As of early 2026, ALDI operates more than 2,600 stores in over 1,700 cities across 40 states plus Washington, D.C. ALDI is marking its 50th year in the United States in 2026.
The chain is growing quickly. ALDI plans to reach nearly 2,800 stores by the end of 2026 and is targeting about 3,200 stores by the end of 2028, backed by a multi-year investment in new stores and distribution centers.
That growth has made ALDI the third-largest grocer in the United States by store count, behind only Walmart and Kroger.
States With the Most ALDI Stores
ALDI stores are concentrated in the eastern half of the country, which reflects where the chain first grew after opening its first U.S. store in Iowa City, Iowa, in 1976. The U.S. headquarters is in Batavia, Illinois.
Florida now has the most ALDI stores of any state, having overtaken Illinois as the chain converted former Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket locations in the Southeast. Here are the leading states by approximate store count.
| State | Approx. ALDI Stores |
|---|---|
| Florida | 270+ |
| Illinois | 215+ |
| Ohio | 170+ |
| Pennsylvania | 150+ |
| New York | 120+ |
| Texas | 125+ |
| Michigan | 100+ |
| California | 100+ |
| Missouri | 90+ |
| North Carolina | 90+ |
These counts shift often because ALDI is adding stores all year, so treat them as a guide and check the store locator for your exact area.
Cities With the Most ALDI Stores
Chicago, Illinois has the most ALDI stores of any single U.S. city, with more than 30 locations. That fits with ALDI’s strong Illinois presence and its headquarters just outside the city.
Other cities with a high store count include Houston, Orlando, Philadelphia, Dallas, Kansas City, and Indianapolis. Large metro areas usually have several stores, so you often have more than one option nearby.
Where ALDI Is Expanding Next
ALDI is in the middle of its biggest expansion yet, opening more than 180 stores in 2026 across dozens of states. A few highlights stand out.
Maine (40th state): In 2026, ALDI opened its first Maine store in Portland, making Maine the chain’s 40th U.S. state.
The West: ALDI entered Las Vegas in 2025 and plans to double that count by 2030. It is also adding stores in the Phoenix market, with a goal of 40 Phoenix-area stores by 2030.
Colorado (coming soon): ALDI announced plans to enter Colorado for the first time, with more than 50 stores planned for the Denver and Colorado Springs areas over the next five years.
The Southeast: ALDI continues converting former Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores, a major driver of its rapid growth in Florida and nearby states.
States Without an ALDI
ALDI now reaches 40 states, but a handful of states still do not have a store. The gaps are mostly in the Mountain West and Pacific Northwest, including states such as Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon, and Washington, plus Alaska and Hawaii.
Colorado is set to join the map soon. If your state does not have an ALDI yet, the official store locator is the best place to watch for new locations as they are announced.
What an ALDI Store Is Like
ALDI runs a no-frills, small-format model that helps keep prices low. Stores are compact, carry a focused selection of around 1,700 core products, and skip extras like in-store pharmacies and banks.
Roughly 90% of what is on ALDI’s shelves is an ALDI-exclusive brand rather than a national label. That focus on private label is a big reason the everyday prices stay low without coupons or loyalty cards.
A few things are worth knowing before your first trip:
- Bring a quarter for the cart. ALDI uses a refundable 25-cent cart deposit, and you get your quarter back when you return the cart.
- Bring your own bags. ALDI does not give out free bags, though you can buy reusable ones at the register.
- No manufacturer coupons. The posted price is the price you pay, with no coupon clipping needed.
