Aldi to open seven new stores in just one month, creating up to 210 jobs

Aldi is set to open seven new stores in just one month, creating up to 210 jobs across the UK.

The supermarket will open seven stores across England throughout November, including two new locations in London, with up to 30 roles available at each site.

The openings form part of Aldi’s £370 million investment in its UK estate this year, as it works towards its long-term ambition of operating 1,500 stores nationwide.

It comes after Aldi unveiled plans for further store investment, continued price cuts and more long-term agreements with British suppliers in its annual trading update earlier this month.

Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “Demand for new Aldi stores remains strong, and we want more shoppers to be able to enjoy our high-quality products at low prices.

“Opening seven stores in November is another big step in our growth plans. It will create hundreds of local jobs and bring Aldi’s value to thousands more shoppers across the country.”

The Aldi stores opening in November are:

• Basildon, Essex – 12^th November
• Newport, Isle of Wight – 19^th November
• Matlock, Derbyshire – 19^th November
• Stepney Green, London – 19^th November
• Willesden, London – 26^th November
• Orrell, Wigan – 26^th November
• Waterlooville, Hampshire – 26^th November
