Aldi to open 15 new stores by the end of the year
Aldi is to open 15 new UK stores by the end of 2021 as part of plans to invest £1.3 billion and launch 100 new supermarkets over the next two years.
Each opening will create an average of over 30 new jobs in local areas.
Ciaran Aldridge, national property director at Aldi UK, said: “There are still too many people for whom shopping at Aldi isn’t a convenient option. We’re committed to changing that and opening nearly four new stores a week before Christmas clearly demonstrates our progress with this.
“The new stores bring us one step closer to our goal of making our award-winning products at unbeatable prices easily accessible to even more shoppers across the country, and we look forward to welcoming local customers in for their weekly shop.”
The openings will follow the launch of stores in Cheltenham, Portlethen and South Harrow in October and the opening of Aldi’s 50th London store in Dalston.
The full list of stores opening before the end of 2021 are as follows:
- Windsor, Berkshire
- Luton, Bedfordshire
- Stamford, Lincolnshire
- Neath, Wales
- Govan, Scotland
- Edinburgh, Scotland
- Bedlington, Northumberland
- Biddulph, Staffordshire
- Cumnock, Scotland
