ALDI PREPARES TO OPEN FIVE NEW STORES WITHIN FIVE WEEKS

Aldi is set to open five new stores across the UK in the coming weeks.

The supermarket, which currently has more than 990 UK stores, will be opening in new locations in June including Southampton and Whittlesey.

Further stores in Norwich, Castle Donington and Porthcawl will also open in early July.

The new stores form part of Aldi’s commitment to invest more than £400 million in store development this year.

Each new store opening will create around 40 new jobs on average, boosting employment opportunities within local areas.

Store Assistants can earn up to £11 nationally, and £12.45 inside the M25, with paid breaks included – rising to £11.40 and £12.85 respectively from July.

George Brown, Real Estate Director at Aldi UK, said: “Demand for Aldi has never been higher, and more than two thirds of British households already shop with us.

“However, there are still too many people for whom shopping at Aldi isn’t a convenient option and we’re committed to changing that, giving even more people access to our award-winning products at unbeatable prices.

“To meet that demand, we are investing in new stores up and down the country and won’t stop until we’ve made quality, affordable food accessible to everyone.”

Aldi has been recognised by Which? as the UK’s Cheapest Supermarket for the past 12 consecutive months, with the latest figures showing Aldi was a huge £18.21 cheaper on a basket of shopping than the most expensive supermarket, Waitrose.

GREAT BRITISH FACE OFF: ALDI’S OPEN LETTER TO CHANNEL 4 GOES VIRALAFTER CATERPILLAR CAKES FEATURE ON BAKE OFF

15 November, 2023

Last night The Great British Bake Off featured caterpillar cakes in Party Week of the popular baking show. The technical challenge saw the quarter finalists take on the task of making a caterpillar cake.

The UK’s favourite supermarket[1] couldn’t resist responding to the episode with a series of social posts, including an open letter to Channel 4, which shoppers have found hilarious. It reads:

“To Channel 4, We are intellectual caterpillar counsel to Aldi UK. We write to you regarding Channel 4’s violation of Cuthbert’s rights. Aldi has always been a big fan of the Great British Bake Off, and we’ve long craved a Hollywood handshake… But tonight’s episode really took the biscuit.”
