The new stores form part of Aldi’s commitment to invest more than £1.3bn by 2023, with plans to open 100 new stores over the next two years.
The supermarket, which currently has more than 930 UK stores, will be opening in new locations from Edinburgh (November 25th) to Orpington (December 2nd) and Poole (December 16th). Each new store opening creates over 30 new jobs on average, boosting employment opportunities within local areas.
Ciaran Aldridge, National Property Director at Aldi UK, said: “There are still too many people for whom shopping at Aldi isn’t a convenient option. We’re committed to changing that and opening nearly four new stores a week before Christmas clearly demonstrates our progress with this. The new stores bring us one step closer to our goal of making our award-winning products at unbeatable prices easily accessible to even more shoppers across the country, and we look forward to welcoming local customers in for their weekly shop.”
The openings follow on from Aldi launching new stores in Cheltenham, Portlethen and South Harrow in October.
