Construction is underway for the valley’s fifth Aldi.
The newest Aldi at 2650 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway in Henderson has erected signs saying “coming soon.” Shawn Eddy, Moreno Valley division vice president for Aldi, confirmed construction on the new store and with an anticipated opening date by the end of the year.
It will occupy part of a former Albertsons.
There are currently four Aldi’s in the valley, with one already in Henderson at 621 Marks St.
The grocery chain announced plans in March 2024 to add 800 stores across the United States by the end of 2028, including its first stores in Las Vegas. Adding 800 stores over the next five years would give the chain more than 3,200 in the U.S.
Aldi is known for keeping its costs down by selling mostly private-label brands and keeping employee counts down by not bagging groceries and encouraging customers to return their carts themselves by requiring a 25-cent deposit to check one out.
