Aldi to open 150 more stores nationwide - see the list of locations
AS day-to-day prices increase due to inflation, Aldi is betting that people will be looking for cheaper groceries by opening 150 more stores.
The new shops will open in a range of cities across the US.
Aldi's new locations are part of a bigger growth plan.
In June 2017, Aldi announced a five-year expansion strategy that means its store total will grow from 1,700 to 2,500 at a cost of $5billion.
The company reached the 2,000-store mark in June 2020 and currently has more than 2,100 stores.
The new openings are a continuation of the Gulf Coast and Louisiana expansion.
The company will count Louisiana as its 38th state of operation when it welcomes shoppers to its Lafayette store on February 10, 2022.
Aldi then plans to open two more Gulf Coast stores in early March, along with 20 additional stores throughout the region by year-end.

To support its growth in the area, Aldi will also open a new 564,000 square-foot regional distribution center in Loxley, Alabama, later this year.
The facility will eventually support 100 new stores throughout Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and the Florida Panhandle.
Aldi couldn't confirm the full list of locations when contacted by The Sun, but added that new stores will be "located across the country from the Southeast to Maryland and Pennsylvania in the Northeast, Arizona and California out west".
It's not yet clear when all the stores are set to open.
