Discount grocery giant Aldi continues to expand its U.S. footprint by opening a new store in Mount Pleasant. Located at 3153 Highway 17 North, the new store will be the 52nd Aldi location in the state, reinforcing the chain’s growing presence in South Carolina.
Aldi has become a go-to destination for budget-conscious shoppers, known for its low prices and private-label offerings. Aldi was recently ranked as the most affordable grocery chain in the U.S., with shoppers saving an estimated $8.3 billion annually. Households that switch from name brands to Aldi-branded items can save up to $4,000 annually.
With more than 2,400 locations across the country, Aldi has surged in popularity recently, particularly as grocery costs rise.
The German-founded retailer is now the third-largest grocery chain in the U.S. by store count. In 2024 alone, Aldi attracted 19 million new customers, underscoring its growing appeal.
The new store will provide affordable groceries and create job opportunities for the local community. Aldi’s expansion continues to support South Carolina’s economy while providing convenient access to budget-friendly essentials for residents across the state.
