Aldi calls on public to help identify new store locations
Aldi is urging shoppers to help it identify the best locations for new UK sites as part of plans to invest over £370 million in expansion this year.
The supermarket is inviting customers to submit suggestions for where new Aldi stores should be opened as it works towards its long-term target of 1,500 locations nationwide.
Subscribe to TRBAldi ran a similar initiative last year, which saw locations in London, Merseyside and Oxfordshire recognised as priority areas by shoppers. This resulted in new sites being identified in Pendle Drive in Liverpool and Hanworth and Willesden in London.
Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: “We know how important it is for people to have access to affordable, high-quality food close to where they live, which is why we’re asking our shoppers to help us identify the communities that would benefit most from a new Aldi store.
“Opening new stores in these areas means we can bring great value to more customers, while also creating jobs and offering industry-leading pay.”
To nominate a town or area for consideration, customers are being asked to email NextNewStore@aldi.co.uk by 18 June and state the town they would like to put forward in the subject of the email.
