Aldi just announced a major redesign of its U.S. stores, and customers may start seeing changes pretty soon.
Aldi South Group, which owns the grocery store chain, has teamed up with design agency Landini Associates to create “a singular, globally unified trading format, modularly adaptable for different store formats and building types across each of the brand’s five diverse territories,” according to a press release.
The design changes, which were first reported by Forbes, will be rolled out in Aldi stores across the U.S., Australia, Germany, the U.K., Ireland, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Slovenia and Switzerland.
What can customers expect from the newly designed stores? Here’s everything we know so far.
Aldi’s Redesign Is 14 Years in the Making
Per Landini Associates, Aldi has been working to revamp its stores over the past 14 years. Over the course of the project, Aldi has executed the following phases:
- Project Fresh, which is described as “the complete reinvention of Aldi Australia’s trading format”
- Aldi’s market entry format for China
- Aldi Corner Stores, aka a “smaller, local model for Australia”
What to Know About the Redesign of U.S. Stores
In September 2025, Aldi started rolling out design trials in Aventura, Florida. Per Landini Associates, “further experimentation” will continue throughout 2026 in the U.S.
“Refinement will be undertaken by ALDI’s local teams across the remaining territories from the second quarter of 2026,” the design agency’s website reads.
While redesigning Aldi stores, Landini Associates sought input from each of the five territories where the new design will be put in place.
According to Forbes, the redesign is an effort to modernize Aldi stores and help it compete in the saturated grocery market. The new design will be adaptable for local markets and the modular design will also help the company explore different design configurations.
Aldi Previously Rolled out a Redesign of Its Private Label Products
In September 2025, Aldi revealed it was refreshing the packaging of its private label brands (products that are produced by Aldi vs. brand names).
The grocery chain announced its plan to add its name to every product it manufactures and release its own namesake brand.
At the time, Aldi CEO Atty McGrath said the move would produce a “simpler, quicker shopping” experience for customers.
The retailer also unveiled plans to replace several brands with the Aldi name.
