Aldi has launched a new nationwide initiative to pinpoint prime locations for new store openings.
Recognising the invaluable input of its customers, the UK’s fourth-biggest supermarket is calling on the nation to help it identify where in Britain needs new Aldi stores most.
Aldi is reminding customers of the best time to shop ahead of the busy Bank Holiday weekend.
The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket has revealed that between 8am-9am and 7pm-10pm are the quietest times for customers to pick up their shopping.
Aldi shoppers have now saved over £7 million since the launch of its partnership with Too Good To Go.
Britain’s fourth largest supermarket has sold more than half a million bags via the world’s largest surplus food platform since partnering in February 2023, helping to avoid an estimated 1,500 tonnes of CO2 emissions*.
Aldi is the first supermarket to move to 100% recycled plastic (rPet) for its own-brand soft drinks and bottled water range in England and Wales.
The move, which is rolling out across all products found in the soft drinks section of its stores, makes Aldi the first UK supermarket to shift its entire own-label soft drinks category to 100% recycled content – excluding only the cap and label.
Aldi has confirmed its opening times for the upcoming Bank Holiday in early May.
Normal opening hours will remain in place at Aldi’s more than 1,000 UK stores on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th May. Stores in England and Wales will then be open until 8pm on Monday 6th May, while in Scotland the closing time will be 10pm as usual.
Aldi has introduced new plastic-free packaging on its everyday own-label toothbrushes.
The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket has replaced the plastic and card packaging with a cardboard alternative, making it easier for customers to recycle at home without the need for separation.
Aldi has extended its fundraising target for Teenage Cancer Trust to £15 million by 2027 after already hitting its £10 million goal ahead of schedule.
In July 2020, the UK’s fourth largest supermarket pledged to raise £10 million by 2027 after reaching its initial £5 million target over 18 months early.
