Aldi has pledged to invest a record £900 million in another 40 new stores in 2027 and its warehouse network, despite seeing annual earnings dip lower.
Expansion plans
The supermarket chain, which already has 1,092 shops across the UK and Ireland, announced the investment as part of its ongoing growth strategy.
The £900 million package marks the largest single-year investment in the company's history, covering both new store openings and logistics infrastructure.
Financial context
The commitment comes at a time when Aldi's annual earnings have declined, though the company has not disclosed specific figures for the current financial period.
No further details on the locations of the planned stores or the timeline for the warehouse upgrades have been released.
This is a breaking story and more details are expected to follow.
