Aldi Has Opened Its First-Ever Location in This State—Find Out Where

Aldi recently announced that it just opened a new store in Portland, Maine—a first for the German supermarket chain.

"We are thrilled to be expanding into the state of Maine as a part of our expansion in the Northeast,” Chris Daniels, regional vice president for Aldi, said in a statement. “At our new Portland Aldi store, shoppers will notice a smaller, easy-to-shop store layout filled with a carefully selected range of products to provide them with exactly what they need. As more people look for better ways to stretch their dollar further, we’re excited to bring quality groceries at the lowest possible prices to Portland.”

As part of the grand opening in March, the grocer gave a donation of $10,000 to the Good Shepherd Food Bank to help combat food insecurity in the local community.

Aldi is slated to operate a total of 3,200 stores in the U.S. by the end of 2028, opening more than 180 new stores across 31 states this year alone. The company's $9-billion expansion is expected to strengthen the grocer's presence in the Northeast and Midwest, adding nearly 330 stores across both regions.

Maine is the 40th state to welcome an Aldi location. Located at 1100 Brighton Avenue, the Portland store features its exclusive brands and the famous "aisle of shame" that shoppers love.

The family-owned grocery chain is also celebrating its 50th anniversary in the U.S. this year with a limited-edition collection of branded merch that includes keychains, candles, tumblers, and sweatshirts.
