Aldi published priority locations for new UK stores as part of a £370 million expansion plan targeting 1,500 sites nationwide. The discounter is the UK's highest-paying supermarket, with store assistants earning from £13.50 an hour.
Aldi published its latest list of priority locations for new British stores, naming towns and cities where it is still hunting for sites as it pushes toward a long-term target of 1,500 locations nationwide.
The discounter, which is investing more than £370 million in new stores this year, said it wants freehold, leasehold or long leasehold sites in prominent positions with good visibility and access. The company is the UK's highest-paying supermarket, with store assistants earning from £13.50 an hour nationally and £14.88 inside the M25, rising with tenure.
Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said the company is focused on communities that would benefit most from a new store. "Opening new stores in these areas means we can bring great value to more customers, while also creating jobs and offering industry-leading pay," he said.
The announcement builds on a separate £40 million investment in London this year, where eight new stores are expected to open, bringing hundreds of jobs to neighborhoods that currently lack access to discount supermarkets.
Aldi is encouraging landowners and agents with suitable opportunities to contact realestateacquisitions@aldi.co.uk.
