A BELOVED grocery chain that fans dub cheaper than Walmart is set to open a new spot as a part of its 225 store plan.
The company has lofty ambitions over the coming months, and plans to open hundreds of stores in the next few years.

Aldi is making a good attempt to take over the US supermarket game with its rapid expansion.
The US Sun recently reported on Aldi’s plan to open 225 stores by the end of 2025.
If this 225 target is met, it will mark the highest amount of new stores Aldi has ever opened in a single year in the US.
Aldi has already opened 40 stores so far this year already, with a huge target of 800 stores by the end of 2028.
Just in June, 20 stores will be opened by Aldi across the country.
Florida will be the state to see the most new spots, with 18 to be exact.
Matt Thon, Aldi regional vice president, commented on a store opening in Ocala, Flordia on June 5,
He said: “At our new Ocala ALDI store, shoppers will find that every decision we make, from our product selection to store layout, is to provide our customers with the best products at the lowest possible prices of any national grocer.
“Our customers can save up to 36% on an average household’s shopping list.”
On top of this, about 220 Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarket stores will be converted to the smaller, simpler Aldi format by 2027.
Aldi CEO Jason Hart said: “With the acquisition of Winn-Dixie and Harveys Supermarkets, Aldi will serve even more communities in the Southeast, bringing us closer to our customers in a region where we’ve already experienced significant demand for affordable, quality groceries.”
