Aldi on the lookout for hundreds of new store sites
Aldi has has released a list of the main locations where it would like to build new stores in the UK.
Aldi said each site should be able to accommodate a 20,000 square foot store and around 100 parking spaces.
George Brown, national property director at Aldi UK, said: “By opening more Aldi stores, we can provide affordable, high-quality food to even more people.
“But despite our growth in recent years, some people still don’t have access to a local store, which is why it is our mission to continue on with our ambitious growth plans and change that.”
The supermarket is offering a finder’s fee for people who recommend a site, including members of the public. This is either 1.5% of a freehold price or 10% of the first year’s rent for leasehold sites.
Brown added: “Our finder’s fee is available to anyone who can find Aldi an appropriate property so we’d encourage people to share any suitable suggestions and get it touch.”
