Aldi has published its latest list of locations across the UK where it is hoping to build new stores.
Last month, the discounter called on the public to get in touch and share where they would like to see an Aldi store.
With thousands of requests received, the company has now reviewed the list of locations and used it to develop its store search programme for the coming years.
The retailer currently has over 1,020 stores, with a long-term target of more than 1,500. Its plans include over 100 outlets within the M25 and a further 100 in the wider South East.
Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “We want to make high-quality food accessible to all, but we can’t do that while there are still some towns and areas that either don’t have an Aldi or have capacity for additional stores.
“We recognise there is huge demand in certain regions for more stores, which is why we decided to get the public’s input on our latest list of priority locations. They have helped us identify where demand is greatest, and we will continue to work to bring Aldi to as many people as possible.”
