The locations where Aldi is keen to expand to include London, Manchester, the South West, Scotland and Wales. You can find the full list of places below.
It comes after Aldi revealed it is set to open ten new stores over the summer, while a further 30 stores will be refurbished. Some of the new locations include Oldbury in the West Midlands, Fulham Broadway in London and Brighouse in West Yorkshire.
New stores will also be coming to Caterham in Surrey and Deeside in Wales, while branches in Herne Bay in Kent and Ancoats in Manchester will be part of those that are being revamped.
The supermarket is set to invest £650million expanding its footprint this year alone. Each new store opening will create around 40 new jobs.
Aldi store assistants received a pay increase earlier this year, with hourly rates rising to at least £12.75 and £14.05 within the M25. It has also committed to a further pay increase for store colleagues from September 2025.
This will take its minimum rates of pay to £12.85 per hour nationally and £14.16 per hour for those within the M25.
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.”
