Entering the Australian market with two stores in 2001, ALDI has reached a new milestone with its 600th store in Wright, Canberra.
“Our 600th store opening in Wright marks a special milestone in ALDI’s Australian story,” said managing director NSW/ACT at ALDI Australia, Amy Peters.
“We have been delivering shoppers across the country unbeatable value for almost 25 years and we can’t wait for the locals in Wright to experience this for themselves.”
The seven-time winner of Canstar Blue’s award for Australia’s Most Satisfied Shoppers has opened the store in a 1,078 sqm custom-designed space. With a range of self-checkouts and modern interior design, the new store is focused on enabling easy navigation for customers.
According to Deepend’s business data on ALDI, 88 per cent of the Australian population lives within a 20 km radius of an ALDI store. Wright customers will have access to ALDI’s exclusive branded products, developed in partnership with more than 1,000 Australian business partners.
“We have seen first-hand the scale at which some of our Business Partners have been able to expand thanks to our long-standing relationships,” said chief commercial officer at ALDI Australia, Jordan Lack.
“It is something we are especially proud of since opening our first stores and forming these connections over 24 years ago.
“Our 600th store opening simply would not have been possible, if it weren’t for our strong network of Business Partners and their commitment to developing the award-winning products ALDI shoppers know and love.”
The Wright store opened for business on 31 May 2025.
