Aldi to strengthen Scottish business with £43 million investment
Aldi is to invest more than £43 million in its Scottish business over the next two years.
The investment will include the opening of two new stores in Bishopbriggs and Dumbarton in 2026. In addition, the retailer has committed to extending its stores in Greenock, Perth, Linlithgow, Paisley and Stirling. The upgrades will create more space for chilled food and Specialbuys as well as redesigned health and beauty and bakery sections.
Sandy Mitchell, regional managing director of Aldi Scotland, said: “I’m incredibly proud to reflect on another outstanding year for Aldi in Scotland. In 2025, we’ve continued to strengthen our investment across the country, welcoming more customers than ever before to our Scottish stores and providing greater access to affordable groceries.
“Our ongoing commitment to Scottish provenance and our close relationships with local suppliers remain at the heart of our success. We’re proud to champion the very best of Scotland’s produce, ensuring that high-quality, locally sourced products continue to reach more customers.
“This year also marked the beginning of our new national charity partnership with CHAS, an organisation that makes an extraordinary difference to children and families across Scotland. We’re honoured to support its vital work as part of our wider commitment to the communities we serve.
“As we look ahead, our focus remains on continued investment, expanding our store network and deepening our partnerships with Scottish suppliers, all while delivering even greater value and choice to our customers.”
Earlier this month, Aldi opened five new stores in 24 hours in Uxbridge, Northallerton, Pershore, Old Kent Road in London and Yate in Bristol.
