Aldi is based out of Germany, with stores in nearly 20 countries and nearly 40 U.S. states. It's "high time" that they put one of their discount grocery stores in the Centennial State.

Why Might Aldi Be Coming to Colorado?

It was announced on March 7, 2024, that Aldi will be bringing 800 more stores to America; according to NBC News, they've also acquired the well-known Winn-Dixie chain of stores.
