What This Means for Shoppers
The expansion represents a significant investment in the UK grocery market, with Aldi continuing to challenge the traditional Big Four supermarkets. Shoppers in these areas can look forward to:
- Lower grocery bills with Aldi's famously competitive pricing

- Convenient access to Aldi's award-winning products
- Weekly Super 6 offers and middle aisle bargains
"We're committed to making quality groceries affordable for everyone," said an Aldi spokesperson. "These new stores will bring us closer to more communities and create valuable local jobs."
Aldi's Growing Market Share
The discount retailer has been steadily increasing its market share in the UK, now holding approximately 10% of the grocery market. With the cost of living crisis continuing to affect household budgets, more shoppers are turning to discount supermarkets to stretch their money further.
The expansion comes as Aldi continues to invest heavily in the UK market, with plans to open an average of one new store per week throughout 2024. This aggressive growth strategy shows no signs of slowing down as the retailer aims to become more accessible to shoppers across the country.
