Aldi, Trader Joe’s, and More Grocery Stores Opening 87 New Locations

During August, grocery prices rose to their highest levels since 2022, affecting every food group, according to Brownfield Ag News. Moreover, the USDA is predicting an overall 3 percent increase for 2025, with beef, coffee, eggs, and sugar seeing some of the steepest price hikes. However, despite these trends and tariff-related pressures, many of the country’s biggest grocery stores are expanding their footprints. From Aldi to Trader Joe’s, these are the supermarket chains opening new locations now.

In early 2025, Aldi announced plans to open 225 new U.S. grocery stores by the end of the year, adding to the 120 locations it opened in 2024 (which made it the country’s third-largest grocery store).

As Best Life reported at the time, more than half of the 225 stores will be brand-new locations, while about 100 will be “converted Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores that Aldi acquired as part of a merger agreement with Southeastern Grocers in Aug. 2023.” (By 2027, Aldi plans to convert a total of 220 Winn-Dixie and Harveys locations.)

When Trader Joe’s marketing vice president Tara Miller announced in January that the grocer would be opening 13 new stores this year, she shared on the Inside Trader Joe’s Podcast that the company is being selective about its new locations.

“We’d like to be in neighborhoods all around the country, but it takes time. We’re not going to rush it because rushing it would result in stores that don’t live up to our expectations or quite honestly, to our customers’ expectations,” she explained.

That said, Trader Joe’s has now expanded its roster of new stores, listing 34 “opening soon” locations across the U.S. on its website:

It’s been a rough year for Target, with August bringing the retailer’s seventh straight month of declining foot traffic.

As Best Life explained, “Target’s troubles began following the inauguration of President Donald Trump, at which time the company put out an official statement that it would be rolling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Then, in March, Black clergy members organized a 40-day, nationwide boycott of Target.”

But despite its financial woes, Target is moving ahead with plans to open seven new stores in October, following the eight locations it opened in July and August.

According to Progressive Grocer, all but two (marked with an asterisk) of the seven new stores will offer fresh produce, meat, and dairy:
