Aldi has adjusted its opening times for the New Year period. Stores will close early at 6pm on December 31 and remain shut on New Year's Day, reopening as normal on January 2. The supermarket also closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day to give staff a rest.
The budget retailer has announced the return of its Back to School bundle from January 4. The set includes two polo shirts and a pair of trousers for £3.50, available in sizes 4 to 12 years. Leather school shoes will also be available for £6.99 in sizes 10 to 4, backed by a 12-month guarantee.
Aldi recently opened five new stores in 24 hours, creating 200 jobs. The chain now has around 1,070 stores in the UK, with long-term plans to increase this to 1,500. Jon Neale, Real Estate Managing Director at Aldi UK, said: “Opening any new store is exciting, but opening five in 24 hours, just before Christmas, will make a huge difference for customers in each of these areas.”
