ALDI LAUNCHES LAST MINUTE EMERGENCY GIFT SERVICE FOR FATHER’S DAY

5 June, 2025

Ahead of Father’s Day (Sunday 15th June), Aldi is launching an ‘SOS Service’ to help shoppers who have forgotten or don’t have time to buy a gift for the big day.

The UK’s fourth largest supermarket is offering a limited number of exclusive ‘Aldi SOS’ gift boxes, designed to ‘knock the socks off’ any father or fatherly figure.

The gift boxes will include a card to personalise, a bar of Aldi’s Moser Roth Chocolate, and most importantly, a pair of Aldi-themed socks.

For those shopping in store, Aldi also offers a wide range of Father’s Day gifts, including a Cast Iron Dutch Oven for the budding home chefs, and a Sisal Dartboard for those wanting to perfect their aim.

To be in with a chance of receiving a gift box, shoppers simply need to email their name and email address to SOSService@aldi.co.uk. Boxes will be sent out on a first come, first served basis, so shoppers are encouraged to act quickly.

Shoppers have from Wednesday 4th June to Thursday 12th June to get their hands on a box while stocks last, and winners will be contacted on or before Thursday to provide their delivery address.

Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: “We know how much occasions like Father’s Day mean to our shoppers, and we’re committed to offering quality gifts at affordable prices.

“Our SOS Service means our customers can celebrate their loved ones even if they’re shopping last minute, helping to make Father’s Day special for everyone.”

This initiative follows Aldi’s recent Mother’s Day giveaway, where one lucky shopper won a year’s supply of flowers through the retailer’s partnership with family-run British supplier JZ Flowers.

ALDI ACCELERATES LONDON EXPANSION WITH £40M INVESTMENT IN EIGHT NEW STORES

20 April, 2026

Aldi is expanding in London with eight new stores this year, bringing hundreds of new jobs and more affordable food options to communities lacking discount retailers.

The £40m expansion targets areas in the capital and Greater London, where many communities still rely on higher-priced convenience stores or traditional full-price supermarkets for their weekly shop.

New stores are planned for Hanworth (Twickenham Road), Willesden (High Road), Watford, Marble Arch, Hoxton, Orpington West, Epsom and Stepney Green. Existing Aldi stores in Enfield and Kilburn will also undergo refurbishments in 2026.

Last year, the UK’s biggest discounter opened new stores inside the M25, including Wimbledon, Fulham Broadway, Shoreditch, Caterham, Uxbridge, Old Kent Road and Kentish Town, alongside an extension in Colindale, helping bring its award-winning products and low prices to even more Londoners.

Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “We know household budgets are still under pressure, and too many Londoners don’t have an Aldi within easy reach. These new stores will bring our unbeatable value to more families while creating around 200 new jobs across the capital.”

The expansion forms part of Aldi’s wider investment in Britain, with the supermarket set to invest over £370 million in opening new stores across the country this year.

Aldi was named the UK’s cheapest supermarket by consumer champion Which? for the fifth consecutive year. In the monthly Which? analysis of 89 popular branded and own-brand products, Aldi also started the year strongly, being named Which? Cheapest Supermarket for January, February and March 2026.
