Aldi has announced plans to open 16 new stores across the UK over the next few months, with four coming to London. The supermarket chain already has more than 1,000 branches in the UK and is pushing ahead with expansion.
On Tuesday, the group revealed the locations of the new supermarket stores. The new sites include Orpington and Hoxton in London. There will also be branches in Marble Arch and Watford opening in the near future.
The plans are part of long-term ambitions by Aldi to expand to 1,500 sites across the UK. In January, Aldi said it hoped to open around 40 new stores in 2026 in line with the long-term growth strategy.
The latest round of new stores follows the opening of its latest store in Salford Quays last month, with the group investing £370 million in new stores this year.
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.”
