Aldi Is Finally Opening Stores in This Popular U.S. City
Aldi is finally coming to Nevada, with three news stores opening in the Southwestern state.
Two locations are already open and the third store will open later this month.Any true Aldi fan will tell you, the store is absolutely worth the hype it gets. Behind its minimalist digs and quirks lie unbeatable prices on everyday essentials—not to mention all the limited-time goodies that catch our eyes in the Aisle of Shame. Plus, Aldi is packed with copycat products that are often even better than the original brand names themselves. Need we say more?
While 38 states have at least one Aldi location, the bulk of these stores are concentrated in a few specific states such as Florida, Illinois, and Ohio. Other areas of the country, like the Pacific Northwest or pockets of the Southwest, are still patiently waiting for Aldi to arrive.
But for shoppers in Nevada, the wait is over, as Aldi's expansion into new uncharted territory includes The Silver State.
Last month, Aldi opened its first two stores in Las Vegas, hosting grand opening events for the new locations in North Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada. And instead of quarters, the celebration featured Aldi-branded poker chips to insert into those famous shopping cart handles.
With soaring food prices still a major concern for shoppers, these openings are a big deal for the Nevada market. According to the 2025 ALDI Price Leadership Report, the company claims that shoppers can save up to 36 percent on their average grocery run, and that the savings for a family of four adds up to about $4,000 a year compared to other grocery stores. Now, families in the Las Vegas area can reap those benefits, too.
On Facebook, fans said the latest openings in the area are 'a long time coming' and that they are 'surprised it took this long for Vegas to get Aldi,' especially when other markets like 'Phoenix has had them for a while.'
The new locations in Henderson, Nevada and North Las Vegas are just the start of what's to come in the area. A third location will open on May 15 in Las Vegas and in a press release, Aldi hinted that a fourth Las Vegas location is expected by the end of the year.
These Nevada locations are part of Aldi's 5-year national growth strategy, which has the store set to open more than 225 new locations this year and 800 stores by the end of 2028. So, if you're still waiting for an Aldi store in your neighborhood, it could be coming very soon!

I took my family's grocery list to Walmart and Aldi. The latter saved me more money, but I'm not sold on going back.
At first, the produce prices and quality seemed comparable. My menu for the week included a beef and broccoli stir-fry, so I headed to the produce section first in each store. Prices for a head of broccoli, bell peppers, and mushrooms for the recipe were almost identical between the stores — and the quality seemed comparable, too. For example, a head of broccoli was two cents pricier at Walmart, and a three-pack of bell peppers was 27 cents more. However, the potatoes and Brussels sprouts were much cheaper at Aldi. Next, I grabbed some ingredients for a sheet-pan chicken and veggies dish. Although both chains are known for their low prices, a bag of small yellow potatoes was over $1 cheaper at Aldi. I was also surprised that a bag of Brussels sprouts cost me $1 more at Walmart. There wasn't an option to buy a single onion at Aldi, which I didn't like. I needed two red onions for the week. I could only buy a 3-pound bag of them at Aldi for $2.15, which roughly works out to about $.37 per onion. At Walmart, I found red onions sold individually. I paid $1.48 per onion. Even though it's cheaper to buy onions in bulk at Aldi, I preferred buying the exact quantity that I needed at Walmart. Not everyone would agree, but I'd rather spend more to know that everything will get used. Food from my bulk purchases has gone to waste in my house too many times. Skirt steak was next on my list — and it was way cheaper at Aldi. My local Aldi is much smaller than the Walmart I shop at, so I was surprised by its impressively wide range of meat options. The price points were great, too. I found skirt steak for $6.99 a pound at Aldi, compared to $11.42 a pound at Walmart. Throughout my trip, I continued to save on protein options at Aldi. I also needed salmon, ground turkey, and chicken thighs for this week's recipes. A pound of Atlantic salmon cost me $2 more at Walmart than it did at Aldi. The ground turkey was about 50 cents more a pound at Walmart. That said, chicken thighs were cheaper at Walmart. Chicken thighs are typically on my list because they're normally cheaper than the breasts, and I think they have more flavor. They were the only protein on my list that was cheaper at Walmart than Aldi, coming in at $1.58 a pound versus $2.19. I buy pasta every week, and both stores had a solid selection for the same price. My girls can be picky eaters, but they're always down for noodles with Parmesan cheese. So, I always pick up a box or two of pasta on my grocery trips. Aldi and Walmart both had a wide selection of pasta shapes with identical prices. My cereal options felt more limited at Aldi. I liked that Walmart had wider selections of cereals, including many recognizable name brands. There were only a handful of options to pick from at Aldi compared to almost an entire aisle at Walmart. Generally, the boxes of cereal were also smaller at Aldi. The price per ounce for the Honey Nut Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast Crunch was the same at both stores, but we'd run out of cereal sooner if we bought it from Aldi. Organic fruit snacks felt like a bargain at Aldi. Fruit snacks are a big hit in my house, so I always keep them around. I was surprised to see that Aldi had organic ones at an impressive price point. Each bag of snacks came out to $0.39. In comparison, the cheapest organic option I found at Walmart came out to $0.46 each. It's not a huge difference, especially since the Aldi fruit snacks were on sale during my trip. However, I would've had to spend more than double up front at Walmart, as the smallest pack had 22 bags of snacks in the box versus 12 at Aldi. I don't necessarily want to shell out $10 on fruit snacks during my weekly grocery-shopping trips. Prices aside, I generally preferred my shopping experience at Walmart. I felt shopping for groceries at Walmart was a bit easier in a few ways. First of all, shoppers have to insert a quarter into the carts at Aldi to use them. Although you get the quarter back when you return your cart, I don't usually keep change on hand. I spent nearly five minutes searching for a quarter in my purse and car, which really frustrated me. Although many Aldi locations have self-checkout options, mine does not. It usually only has one or two open lines staffed by cashiers. I find self-checkout to be more efficient, so I liked that I had this option (and tons of registers were available) at Walmart. Plus, Walmart stores tend to be much larger with a wider variety of brands and buying options, whereas Aldi primarily carries its own labels. I also preferred Walmart's system for bagging purchases. At Aldi, cashiers are usually focused on scanning groceries as quickly as possible — they don't usually place my items in bags. Although I appreciate the emphasis on speed, this means I have to pack up my groceries in the designated bagging area off to the side after checking out. This can be a time-consuming extra step. At Walmart, I bag groceries at the self-checkout station or the cashier packs them as they scan. This can result in a slightly slower checkout process, but I think it's worth it. My experience-related grievances seem small, but they add up when I go to the grocery store every week. Overall, I'd still shop at Walmart even though I spent more money there on this shopping trip. After going through my whole list, I spent about $27 more overall at Walmart than at Aldi. I spent $119.50 at Aldi and $146.27 at Walmart. Fortunately, at both places, I still came in slightly under my budget of $150. Of course, this isn't a perfect science. Grocery prices, sales, and the quality of different store locations can vary. Still, it seems I could save more by regularly shopping at Aldi. Even so, I'm more likely to go back to Walmart. I preferred my shopping experience there and was still able to stick to my budget. I'm fortunate to live close to both stores, so I'd probably only take my grocery list to Aldi if I really needed to pinch pennies. Luckily, my budget works at Walmart for now. (Although Walmart plans to raise prices over tariffs, so I'm not sure if that will stay true for much longer.)

Eicher Motors' subsidiary VE Commercial Vehicles reports 7.3% YoY sales growth in May 2025
By Aman Shukla Published on June 1, 2025, 11:42 IST VE Commercial Vehicles Limited (VECV), the unlisted subsidiary of Eicher Motors Limited, has reported a positive sales performance for the month of May 2025. The company achieved a total sales volume of 7,402 units, registering a growth of 7.3% compared to 6,901 units sold in May 2024. This includes sales across all segments such as Eicher Trucks and Buses (inclusive of electric vehicles), as well as Volvo-branded vehicles. Eicher-branded trucks and buses, which form the core of VECV's business, saw sales of 7,258 units in May 2025, up from 6,719 units in the same period last year, reflecting an 8.0% year-on-year growth. This performance was driven by strong demand in the domestic market, particularly in the light and medium-duty (LMD) truck and bus segments. The domestic sales stood at 6,758 units, showing a 7.2% increase from 6,304 units in May 2024. Within the domestic market, the SCV/LMD truck segment (vehicles under 18.5 tonnes) witnessed a robust 15.2% growth, with 3,236 units sold in May 2025 as compared to 2,809 units a year ago. The LMD bus segment also posted healthy growth of 9.5%, delivering 1,882 units against 1,718 units in May 2024. On the other hand, the heavy-duty (HD) truck segment (vehicles 18.5 tonnes and above) experienced a slight decline of 8.1%, with sales slipping to 1,502 units from 1,635 units. Similarly, the HD bus segment reported a marginal drop of 2.8% year-on-year. Export markets offered a strong performance boost, with total export volumes rising by 20.7% to 501 units in May 2025, compared to 415 units in May 2024. The growth was largely led by the HD export segment, which surged by an impressive 520% year-on-year. Exports of LMD vehicles also improved by 8.2%, while the bus segment witnessed a decline of 10.5%. Meanwhile, Volvo Trucks and Buses sales stood at 144 units in May 2025, down from 182 units in the same month last year, reflecting a 20.9% drop. This decline had a modest impact on the overall performance, as Eicher-branded vehicles continue to dominate VECV's portfolio. Cumulatively for the first two months of FY 2025-26, VECV has sold 14,248 units, a 16.0% increase over the 12,278 units sold in the same period of FY 2024-25. The domestic market contributed 13,015 units during this period, marking a 16.2% growth. Exports also rose significantly by 24.6%, totaling 961 units. Notably, the SCV/LMD truck category grew by 18.0%, while the LMD bus segment surged by 31.5%, reflecting VECV's growing strength in these segments.

Oreo maker sues Aldi over alleged copycat cookie packaging
The maker of Oreos, Chips Ahoy cookies, Ritz crackers and other popular snacks is suing Aldi, alleging the supermarket chain is using packaging that "blatantly copies" their products. Mondelēz International filed the civil complaint on May 27 in an Illinois federal court. According to the complaint, obtained and reviewed by USA TODAY, the Chicago-headquartered company said Aldi's alleged actions are "likely to deceive and confuse consumers and dilute the distinctive quality of Mondelēz's unique product packaging." Aldi, which sells low-priced private-label cookie and cracker snacks, has a "pattern and practice of selling products in packaging that are unacceptable copies of Mondelēz's," the manufacturer alleges in the complaint. Mondelēz said in the court filing that it has contacted Aldi on "numerous occasions" objecting to the supermarket chain's alleged use of "confusingly similar packaging" and demanding that it cease and desist its "unlawful infringement." The snack maker is seeking monetary damages and a court order effectively stopping Aldi from selling products that infringe on its trademarks. USA TODAY contacted Aldi and Mondelēz on May 30 but has not received a response. The popular snack brands Mondelēz is alleging Aldi copied include Oreos, Wheat Thins, Nutter Butters, Chips Ahoy, Nilla Wafers, Ritz, Premium Saltine Crackers, Teddy Grahams, Belvita biscuits, Tate's Bake Shop cookies and Triscuit crackers, according to the complaint. After being contacted by Mondelēz, Aldi discontinued and/or changed certain of the alleged infringing products, the complaint says. However, Aldi continued to sell products in packaging that resembles Mondelēz's snacks, which are trademarked, the court document continued. Mondelēz is informed and believes that at least some of the products in its lawsuit are manufactured and distributed nationally to Aldi stores from a supplier or suppliers in Ohio, the complaint reads. Throughout the complaint, Mondelēz includes side-by-side comparisons of its trademarked snack packaging and Aldi's alleged infringing products, including Oreos and the supermarket chain's "Original Chocolate Sandwich Cookies with Vanilla Filling." Mondelēz is not the only company to sue Aldi, as an Australian federal court ruled a year ago that the supermarket chain infringed on the copyright of Baby Bellies snack puffs for young children, according to The Guardian and Associated Press. In the Baby Bellies case, Aldi's packaging featured a cartoon owl with colors similar to the name-brand packaging, the outlets reported. Hampden Holdings, the owner of Baby Bellies, sent the supermarket chain a letter alleging copyright infringement, subsequently prompting the company to take Aldi to court concerning 11 product designs, according to The Guardian. 'Aldi sought to use for its own commercial advantage the designs that had been developed by a trade rival,' the federal judge said, per The Guardian. 'Although Aldi may have intended, if possible, to avoid infringement and legal liability, it took the risk that its use of the Bellies designs would exceed what the law allows. I consider Aldi's conduct to be flagrant.' Federal courts in the United Kingdom and Australia ruled in favor of Aldi in 2018 after the cosmetic company, Moroccanoil Israel, alleged the discount supermarket chain's product packaging and branding were too similar to theirs.
