Britain’s fourth largest supermarket to invest £1.4 billion to open new stores

Aldi has announced that they are to invest £1.4 billion over the next two years as they are wanting to open new stores.

The supermarket giant said that they had an extra one million more customers over the past year and earlier this month Aldi opened their 1,000^th store.

Aldi has a target to open 1,500 stores across the UK in total through the huge £1.4 billion investment.

Richard Thornton, communications director at Aldi UK, said, “We want to make our great value groceries accessible to all, and to do that we need more stores, particularly in towns and areas that don’t have an Aldi already.

“The areas we’ve identified in our latest list are places where there is demand for stores and we are committed to continue investing.”
