Aldi stores still have a long way to go, as several US states do not have it. However, it is still branching out and looking to open new stores in 2022.

The below guide delves deeper into states that Aldi does not have a presence and what to look forward to. Read on;

What States Have No Aldi?

Currently, there are no Aldi stores in the following states;

• Idaho
• Washington
• Montana
• Oregon
• Wyoming
• Nevada
• Colorado
• Utah
• New Mexico
• Alaska
• Hawaii
• Maine

Aldi was mainly focused on expanding inwards rather than outwards. It explains why there are many new stores in places like Chicago and Florida that already have numerous stores. This is because of the already existing distribution network; hence, adding stores to the existing pipelines is more manageable than building new ones.

However, Aldi is working on expanding to the above states, with its 38th one recently opened in Louisiana, on 10th February 2022.

Aldi has plans to open two more Gulf Coast stores in early March and 20 more by the end of 2022.
