About us

For over 40 years, ALDI US has stuck to the same guiding principle: Great quality shouldn’t come at a high price; rather, great quality should come with everyday low prices.

Founded by the Albrecht family, the first ALDI store opened in 1961 in Germany, making ALDI the first discounter in the world. Headquartered in Batavia, Illinois, ALDI now has more than 2,000 stores across 36 states, employs over 25,000 people and has been steadily growing since opening its first US store in Iowa in 1976.

The no-frills grocery shopping experience focuses on customers first - delivering high quality food they’re proud to serve their family, responsive customer service, everyday low prices and a quick-and-easy shopping experience with only four to five aisles and all the essentials. We carry the weekly must-haves and display them in their designed shipping boxes to help save time and resources to restock shelves. Shoppers will find more than 90 percent of the groceries we offer are under our ALDI exclusive brands, hand-selected by ALDI to ensure that our products meet or exceed the national brands on taste, quality and, of course, price. That means you don’t have to worry about which ketchup brand or Greek yogurt brand is best, because we’ve specially curated the best product for you and your family. We can’t promise you’ll find ten choices of the same item, but we can promise you’ll find the best one.

Additionally, we partner with a wide variety of growers – including some local farmers – to offer a wide variety of fresh, in-season produce, including organic fruits and vegetables. From USDA Choice meats to gluten-free and organic foods, we are committed to bringing our shoppers the highest quality products at low, low prices.

Small Differences, Big Savings
More than 40 million customers every month have discovered that they can save time and money without sacrificing quality. At ALDI, our small differences are making a big impact – in store and in your wallet.

Volume Purchasing: We focus on the most commonly purchased grocery items so you can get in, get your groceries and get home to your family. This allows for sizable discounts which are passed directly to our customers.

Exclusive Brand Products: More than 90 percent of what you find in stores is exclusive brand product. Tested in the ALDI Test Kitchen, these products taste the same or better than national brands and are backed by our Double Guarantee. If you’re not 100 percent satisfied, bring it back. We’ll replace the product AND refund your money.

ALDI Finds: Each week, ALDI offers dozens of food and non-food products at a great value that include everything from small kitchen appliances and seasonal items to outdoor furniture and gardening tools.

No Hidden Costs: Our store model avoids non-essential services like banking, pharmacies and check cashing to bring more savings to our customers
