Aldi is set to open the doors to four new stores today (5 December) as it continues its rapid expansion drive across the UK.
The stores will be located at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol, Hetton-le-Hole in Tyne and Wear, Ashton-in-Makerfield in Greater Manchester, and Macduff in Banffshire, creating more than 100 new jobs overall.
This follows a series of store openings in recent weeks for the UK’s fourth largest supermarket, including new locations in Sedgley in the West Midlands, Horsham in West Sussex and Muswell Hill in London.
The latest openings form part of Aldi’s commitment to providing high-quality products at unbeatable prices to even more UK shoppers with a long-term target of 1,500 stores across the UK – with the supermarket investing £800m in expanding its UK footprint this year alone.
Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi UK, said: “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 just in time for Christmas.
“To be opening four new stores in one day is an outstanding effort from the team and shows just how serious we are about bringing more stores to communities up and down the country.”
