The Aldi grocery chain is planning to open an additional 650 supermarkets nationwide by the end of 2018, a move that means concrete paving opportunities throughout the U.S., reports NRMCA Senior Vice President, Local Paving, Jon Hansen.
 

"The work of a number of industry partners in the past years has resulted in concrete parking lot paving for many new Aldi stores," he said. "We have come a long way from eight years ago when Aldi would only do asphalt paving to where it now readily seek a concrete paving alternate for new construction stores."

Aldi (see newly built unit below) currently operates more than 1,400 grocery stores throughout 32 states in the Midwest and along the East Coast.
