Aldi has unveiled plans to open 10 new stores over the next 14 weeks as part of its long-term target of building a portfolio of 1,500 stores in the UK.
The UK’s fourth largest supermarket, which currently operates more than 1,050 stores, also intends to “refresh” a further 30 stores in the coming weeks, with the company poised to invest £650m in expanding its UK footprint this year alone.
Aldi intends to open new stores in: Brighouse, West Yorkshire; Oldbury, West Midlands; Caterham, Surrey; Sheffield, South Yorkshire; Deeside, Wales; Fulham Broadway, London; Diss, Norfolk; Hilton, Derbyshire; West Denton, Newcastle; and Market Harborough, Leicestershire.
Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: “At Aldi, our goal is to ensure everyone has access to high-quality food at unbeatable prices, and we’re committed to achieving that with our ambitious store opening plans.
“We’re targeting 40 new store openings in 2025, while many of our current stores will also be getting a refresh to enhance the customer experience, meaning we can consistently offer the best value for money to even more shoppers across the UK.”
