A new ALDI opens in Zugló, in Zenit Corsó

ALDI works every day to help Hungarian families save money, which is why it makes its wide, quality product range available to customers at low prices. The discount chain has opened its newest store in Budapest, in the heart of Zugló, in the Zenit Corso shopping center, in response to the demands of its customers. This is ALDI’s 187th store in Hungary and its 48th store in Budapest, which offers convenient shopping opportunities to the residents of Zugló and those working here. The approximately 3,000 square meter store was built by ALDI in half a year. It is one of the largest ALDIs in terms of floor space and sales area in both Budapest and Hungary. The new ALDI is easily accessible by public transport and car: in addition to trams 3, 62 and 62A, buses 7, 7E, 8E, 32, 108E, 110, 112, 124, 125, 133E, 277, 907, 907A, 979 also stop here, while those arriving by car can park in the Zenit Corso parking lot with 530 spaces. ALDI customers are provided with 1 hour of free parking for purchases over HUF 5,000. The barrier system will be ticketless, so ALDI cashiers will give customers a discount sticker if they purchase over the amount limit.

New ALDI store concept – first time in Budapest

The store will open with a completely new ALDI interior: the chain is making it even easier for customers to find their way around the store and further strengthening the grouping of related items in the sales area. At the entrance, the fresh department welcomes customers: vegetables and fruit, fresh meat and flowers. After that, the first row contains basic foodstuffs for daily consumption and cooking, making it easier to select the ingredients for a recipe. Stationery, cleaning products and cosmetics are placed next to each other. The wide aisles are unobstructed, even with large shopping carts. ALDI has increased the length of the refrigerators, so that convenience refrigerated products are lined up in at least twice as much space as before. The range and sales area of ​​non-food items have been reduced, so the food department has been given a larger area. There are currently only five ALDI stores with this design in Hungary, the first of which is in Budapest.

In the new store, customers can choose from more than 100 fresh vegetables and fruits, mainly from Hungarian sources. The spacious counter of the “Azon melegében” display bakery offers more than 50 locally baked breads, sweet and savory pastries. Nearly 50 additional baked goods are delivered daily from the central warehouse. From the containers labeled “A nap fojsa” (The Catch of the Day), the bakery’s leftover baked goods from the previous day’s closing can be purchased at a 50% discount until noon the next day, and vegetables and fruits with cosmetic defects can be purchased at a 30–50% discount.

“This new ALDI is not just a store, but a new level of shopping experience in Zugló, which is organically integrated into the Zenit Corso concept. Modern interior design, spacious sales area, fresh products and special discounts await customers, so that we can make families’ lives easier every day, and so that quality and affordability go hand in hand”

– said Bernhard Haider, National Managing Director of ALDI Hungary Élelszer Bt. on the occasion of the opening.

“We developed the store with a floor area of ​​approximately 3,000 square meters in half a year. Now, one of the largest ALDIs in Budapest and Hungary with one of the largest floor areas and sales areas awaits customers. We have created more than 25 new jobs in the new store, so we now employ more than 2,600 people in Pest County”

– he added.

Opening discounts and pensioner coupons

ALDI places great emphasis on introducing its own-brand products to as many customers as possible, which are often significantly cheaper than brand products and are of excellent quality. On the occasion of the opening of the 48th ALDI in Budapest, the company is offering around 100 products at extremely favorable prices exclusively in this store, including fresh meat, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, toys, kitchen appliances and furniture. Freshly baked locally baked goods can be purchased with a uniform 20% discount between October 16 and 18.

On the opening day, ALDI will give every customer 4 coupons, each worth 2,000 HUF, which can be redeemed exclusively in this store for purchases of at least 15,000 HUF between October 20 and November 16, 2025.
