Aldi expands in Hungary: 10 new stores in 2024 and largest outlet opens in Budapest

Aldi opened 10 new stores in Hungary this year, as in the previous years, and wants to continue expanding at this rate in the country, the local unit of the German supermarket chain said on Friday, on the occasion of the opening of the 182nd Aldi store in the country.

The company’s latest store, in Budapest’s District XI, is also the one with the largest sales area. With its sales area of over 1,800sqms, it’s almost twice as big as an average Aldi. The company spent HUF 19.5 billion on investments in Hungary in 2024. It had a headcount of close to 6,500 at year-end and around 270 Hungarian suppliers who supply 60 % of the products sold by the chain. Aldi had revenue of more than HUF 490 billion last year, company records show.
