Aldi is set to open 11 new stores across the UK between now and Christmas.

New stores in Sedgley in the West Midlands and Castle Douglas in Scotland are set to open this week, while Horsham in West Sussex and Muswell Hill in London are also gearing up to welcome stores in November.

The expansion continues with stores in Totton in Hampshire, Cribbs Causeway in Bristol and Pwllheli in Gwynedd also scheduled to open before Christmas.

In addition, more than 15 stores will undergo refurbishments between now and Christmas to enhance the customer experience and introduce even more sustainable features.

The latest openings form part of Aldi’s long-term target of 1,500 stores across the UK, with the supermarket set to invest £800m in expanding its UK footprint this year alone.

Aldi store assistants receive starting pay of £12.40 per hour, with those based in London earning £13.65 per hour. Additionally, Aldi remains the only supermarket to offer paid breaks, which for the average store colleague is worth more than £900 a year.

Jonathan Neale, Real Estate managing director at Aldi UK, said: “At Aldi, we’re committed to making high-quality, affordable food accessible to everyone.

“Our new store openings are a testament to our ongoing investment in the UK, and we’re thrilled to bring Aldi’s unbeatable prices to even more communities ahead of the festive season.”
