Grocers open 25 new stores in June

With 25 new stores tracked by Winsight Grocery Business in June, grocery openings kept pace with the prior month.

WGB tracked the same number of grand openings in May. The numbers were once again led by fast-growing Aldi, who ended the month with 10 new locations (twice as many as it debuted in May).

All but six of the month’s new grocery stores were located east of Texas.

Publix opened three stores in May and Grocery Outlet added two new locations.

Hy-Vee opened the doors to its largest store ever in June, a 135,000-square-foot supermarket in Gretna, Nebraska. The grocer spent more than $37 million to build, furnish and stock the store. And Aldi opened its first store in Miami.

In April, WGB tallied just 14 new grocery stores. But that followed a busy March, with 40 openings.
