Aldi is set to expand its presence in Chicago's South Loop, as a permit has been issued for a new location at the Roosevelt Collection retail complex. The German-based grocery chain plans to renovate and retrofit the existing space, which will be part of an open-air mall on 150 W. Roosevelt Road.
As part of this expansion, Aldi is expected to bring its unique shopping experience to the area, with plans to offer quicker, easier, and more affordable options for customers. The company's CEO, Jason Hart, has stated that Aldi aims to become America's first stop for groceries, as it continues to grow its nationwide presence.
Aldi is on track to meet its goal of opening 800 new stores across the country by the end of 2028, with nearly 120 locations opened in 2024. The company currently operates 32 locations throughout Chicago and has announced plans to open several more stores in the coming years, including a River North location set for November and a West Loop store expected to open in 2026.
The new Aldi location is part of the Roosevelt Collection's ongoing developments, which include the recent opening of an AMC Roosevelt 16 movie theater. Other retailers and restaurants at the complex include H&M, The X Pot, and Old Navy.

i mean who doesn't love saving $$$ on groceries? they're really pushing to become america's 1 stop shop for groceries which is kinda genius tbh. and can we talk about how amazing it is that they're bringing their unique shopping experience to the area? quicker, easier, and more affordable options sound like a total game changer! i'm def planning to check this new location out when it opens 
! Aldi expanding in Chicago's South Loop is gonna be a total game changer for that area! I mean, who doesn't love gettin' affordable groceries without breakin' the bank? 
And with their unique shopping experience, people are gonna flock to that new location. I'm curious, what makes them think they can become America's first stop for groceries? Are they really gonna disrupt the grocery game like that? Either way, more Aldi stores = happy consumers! 
about aldil expanding in south loop! think its gonna be sick to have more affordable options for groceries in chicago 
also heard they're planning to renovate the space which will fit right in with all the other cool shops and restaurants in the complex 
hope it brings some life to that area since river north is already doing great 
800 new stores by 2028? thats wild can't wait to try out aldil myself soon 
i mean dont get me wrong, i love a good discount as much as the next person but it feels like aldis is just replicatin what's already out there. and what about all the weird stuff ppl say about how good their shopping expirience is? its just a low rent store with cheap prices... sounds like a whole lotta trouble to me 
Just think about it, Aldi's going to be everywhere soon... 
They're really changing the game with their quick shopping experience, and I'm all about that convenience. I hope they can bring some of that same magic to this new location at the Roosevelt Collection. And can you imagine having an AMC movie theater right next door? 
That's like a dream come true for me! I'll def be checking out their store when it opens - I'm already planning my shopping list 
anyway cant wait to check out this new location tho 
and the prices are always super competitive. anyway, since they're expanding here, maybe we can get some new faves from germany 
... or just some more awesome deals on avocados 
i'm hyped for this!
can you imagine walking into a crowded South Loop mall just to buy some cheap booze from Aldi 
but seriously, 800 new stores by 2028? that's like, ambitious 
can't wait to see what they do with the old Aldi building 
just imagine being able to grab everything you need in one stop, no need to drive all around town 
And I'm not sure what's so appealing about "quicker, easier, and more affordable" grocery shopping... where's the charm in that? 
Plus, I'm worried they're gonna lose some of the character that makes South Loop so awesome in the first place. Like, do we really need another open-air mall with a giant Aldi taking up space that could've been used for something more unique or local?
