ALDI TO CLOSE ALL STORES ON BOXING DAY

10 September, 2025

Aldi has confirmed it will close all of its stores on Boxing Day in line with previous years.

The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket will close for Christmas Day and reopen as usual on Saturday 27^th December 2025, giving colleagues the chance to spend time with friends and family.

Stores will also be closed on New Year’s Day as usual, reopening once again on Friday 2^nd January 2026.

Opening hours will vary in the days leading up to Christmas, with Aldi operating extended hours to ensure customers can stock up ahead of the big day.

Rebecca Heley, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “Christmas is a special time, and we want to ensure all of our colleagues have the opportunity to relax and enjoy it with their loved ones. That’s why all Aldi stores will be closed on Boxing Day this year.

“We know how hard colleagues work to deliver an amazing Christmas for our customers, and this is one small way of saying thank you.”

Aldi store colleagues received a pay rise earlier this month, with starting pay for Store Assistants increasing to £13.02 an hour nationally, and £14.05 within the M25. Aldi also remains the only supermarket in the UK to offer paid breaks.
