The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket, which now has more than 1,050 stores, will be opening new stores in areas such as Oldbury in the West Midlands, Fulham Broadway in London and Brighouse in West Yorkshire, according to company reports.
New stores will also be coming to the likes of Caterham in Surrey and Deeside in Wales, while shoppers in Herne Bay in Kent and Ancoats in Manchester will be among those to see their stores undergo enhancements.
The openings form part of Aldi’s long-term target to have 1,500 UK stores as it looks to bring its low prices to even more shoppers – with the supermarket set to invest 770 million euros expanding its footprint this year alone.
Each new store opening will reportedly create around 40 new jobs, boosting employment opportunities within local areas.
“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,” says Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK. “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.”
