Aldi is intensifying its growth strategy in Spain, planning to open around 50 new stores by the end of 2024. This expansion includes five openings in June alone, focusing on the Basque Country, Catalonia, the Valencian Community, and Andalusia.
The supermarket chain aims to increase its market share in Spain, currently below 2%, by focusing on key regions like the northern area, where it recently invested €50 million in a new logistics centre in Miranda de Ebro (Burgos).
With two new stores planned for Catalonia and one each in Alicante and Marbella, Aldi will reach 445 stores by the end of June. The second half of the year will see the majority of the new openings, targeting strategic regions like Extremadura, Murcia, the Balearic Islands, Galicia, Madrid, Andalusia, the Valencian Community, and Catalonia.
By the end of 2024, Aldi expects to have close to 500 stores in Spain, having opened a total of 150 in just four years as part of its aggressive expansion plan.
