Aldi to open new store in New York on Thursday

Aldi is continuing its expansion in the Northeast with the opening of a new store in New York on Thursday. 

The discount grocer’s newest New York location is at 662 Hoosick Road in Troy, situated north of the state capital of Albany.

“Our stores are designed to make grocery shopping smarter, faster and easier, and we’ve been voted the price leader for six years running,” said Aaron Sumida, Tully division regional vice president at Aldi, in a statement. “We’re excited to open our first Aldi store in Troy and introduce local customers to a new, more affordable way of shopping.”

Aldi’s expansion last year saw new stores across the Southeast, but 2023 is shaping up to include other parts of the U.S. as well, including the Northeast, with another store opening in New York next Thursday in Williamsville, according to the grocery retailer’s website, which lists 125 locations in New York.

Aldi’s rapid pace for new store openings continues in the Midwest as well, with the discount grocer adding new locations in Orland Park, Illinois, and Sturgis, Michigan.

Last month, Aldi took the top spot in new grocery store openings, according to those tracked by WGB.

Aldi recently took the top spot as the most-trusted discount and small-format grocer, according to the 2023 Most Trusted Grocery Retailers in America list conducted by market research firm BrandSpark International, in partnership with Winsight Grocery Business and Newsweek.
