Aldi is set to open 16 new stores over the coming months as part of its continued investment in expanding its footprint across the UK with two new stores in the region
Britain’s biggest discounter, which now has more than 1,080 stores nationwide, will open new locations in areas including Watford and Hoxton in London, Hattersley and Wigan in Greater Manchester, and Balsall Common in the West Midlands.
The latest openings support Aldi’s long-term ambition to operate 1,500 stores across the UK, helping more communities access its award-winning quality products at unbeatable prices.
The announcement follows the opening of Aldi’s new Salford Quays store last month and forms part of the retailer’s planned £370 million investment in new stores during 2026.
Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said:“At Aldi, we’re committed to making high-quality, affordable food accessible to everyone, which is why we continue to invest in expanding our store network across the UK.
“Our £370 million investment in new stores this year will help us bring Aldi’s unbeatable value to even more communities, supporting local economies through our industry-leading pay for colleagues.”
