Aldi is currently focusing their building largely in the American Southwest (they just opened their fourth store in Arizona), but especially in the Gulf Coast region and Florida.

Aldi, in Loxley Alabama, has begun building a new distribution facility to enable goods to move throughout the Gulf Coast region. Aldi’s 38th U.S. State, Louisiana, is the reason for this.

This chain is also involved in numerous store renovations that update interiors and layouts across the Northeast.

I was curious as to why Aldi might focus on the Gulf Coast region over a state like Washington, with the major hub of Seattle. It might be due to the high population density.

Washington State is home to 106.3 people per sq mile. This sounds impressive, but Florida has 397.2 people per sq mile!

It would surprise me if Aldi didn’t consider this when planning for expansion.
