ALDI PREPARES TO OPEN FOUR NEW LONDON STORES BY THE END OF 2024
31 July, 2024
Aldi is set to open four new stores in the capital between now and the end of the year as it looks to deliver on its promise to bring lower food prices to even more Londoners.
New stores in Leytonstone and Beckton are set to open in the next couple of months, while Holloway Road and Muswell Hill are also gearing up to welcome new Aldi stores.
The openings will see the UK’s fourth largest supermarket create more than 150 new jobs in the capital before the end of the year, with even more stores set to open in London during 2025.
Aldi has been confirmed by Which? as the UK’s cheapest supermarket every single month this year and has a long-term ambition to open another 100 stores in London, creating around 3,500 new jobs.
Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “There are still thousands of shoppers in the capital that don’t yet have access to an Aldi nearby and, as a result, too many people have to make do with big prices at the big supermarkets.
“That’s why, while we’re looking to open new stores across the country, London will be a particular focus for us over the coming years.”
The openings form part of Aldi’s long-term target of 1,500 stores in the UK – with the supermarket set to invest £550 million in expanding its UK footprint this year alone.
