In 2022, Aldi opened or remodeled 139 stores serving close to 10 million new customers, contributing to double-digit growth in sales.  Privately held Aldi does not release financial information but growth rates can be estimated from the number of stores and industry statistics.

Aldi intends to add 120 new stores in 2023, bringing the count to 2,400 locations nationwide.  Thirty-five of the intended number for this year were opened during the first quarter. The addition of stores will require the employment of an additional 2,000 workers to serve customers and maintain the supply and distribution chain. Current store count is 2,200 locations in 38 states with 45,000 employed.

In 2023, Aldi will concentrate on the southeast market.  The company opened a 564,00 square foot distribution center in Loxley, AL that will serve stores in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and the Florida Panhandle.  It is calculated that 100 stores will be supported in a multi-state region with eight million potential customers

The chain is also pursuing a program of sustainability with capital investment in solar panels on rooftops, introducing environmentally acceptable refrigerants and eliminating plastic in packaging and for customers.  Aldi is a recipient of numerous EPA GreenChill program certifications that exceed the industry average.
