Discount grocery sets opening date for Henderson store

A fifth Aldi is opening in the Las Vegas Valley.

The discount grocery chain will be opening its fifth Las Vegas-area store at 2650 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway on Nov. 19 at 8 a.m. This is the second store in Henderson, with another at 621 Marks St.

On Nov. 19, Aldi will celebrate the grand opening with a ribbon-cutting, and the first 200 customers will receive a gift bag filled with Aldi products and a gift card. Going forward, the store will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The new store will occupy a portion of a former Albertsons.

Aldi 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.
