Discount supermarket Aldi will enter the Midtown Manhattan area next year with a 25,000-square-foot store on 42nd Street at the edge of Times Square. The store will be located in The Ellery, a new luxury residential building designed by Handel Architects and managed by Taconic Partners and National Real Estate Advisors.
“The Aldi flagship location at The Ellery marks a major milestone in the transformation of the Times Square area into a premier residential destination,” said George Tsapelas, SVP at Taconic Partners in a statement. “Aldi is an ideal neighborhood partner, offering the West Side a much-needed grocery store that will resonate with our residents and the community.”
In February 2025 Aldi announced plans to open more than 225 U.S. stores this year, the largest number of stores it has opened in a single year in the company’s history. The retailer debuted in the Las Vegas market earlier this year.
“Opening our first store in the heart of Manhattan will be a significant milestone for Aldi as we continue to expand access to affordable, quality groceries in the most in-demand locations across the country,” said Chris Daniels, Regional VP at Aldi in a statement. “This location will allow us to provide New Yorkers with a simpler, quicker and more enjoyable shopping experience with great products at the lowest prices, every day.
