ALDI Will Accept Credit Cards at Stores Nationwide

ALDI will now accept credit cards—including Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express—at all of its stores across the country. 

“As ALDI continues to evolve by expanding its product lines and moving into new markets, the way we do business will continue to evolve as well,” says Jason Hart, CEO of ALDI. “We care about being able to make our customers’ shopping experiences simpler and better every time they come to see us; and offering them the convenience of using their credit cards will help us do just that.”

ALDI is dedicated to keeping customers’ grocery carts full and their wallets even fuller—that’s why the acceptance of credit cards will have no impact on the price customers pay for the ALDI products, say company officials. 

“One thing that will never change at ALDI is our unmatched shopping experience. Our customers will continue to save money on the high-quality groceries they buy the most,” says Hart.

Beyond the convenience of accepting credit cards, the exclusive products that line the ALDI aisles are changing to meet shoppers’ lifestyles, officials add. Recently, thanks to customer feedback, ALDI made a big move to get rid of added MSG, certified synthetic colors and partially hydrogenated oils from ALDI exclusive food brands, which make up 90 percent of the foods ALDI offers.

Later this month, ALDI will launch its first stores in Southern California. By the end of 2018, there will be nearly 2,000 ALDI stores from coast-to-coast and 45 million customers each month to share the ALDI love for premium quality groceries at the lowest possible prices.
