Aldi is set to open 15 more stores across the UK before the end of the year.
The discounter, which currently has more than 930 stores across the country, will be opening in new locations such as Edinburgh (25 November), Orpington (2 December) and Poole (16 December).
The new sites form part of Aldi’s plan to invest more than £1.3bn in the UK by 2023, with 100 store openings over the two years.
Ciaran Aldridge, National Property Director at Aldi UK, said: “There are still too many people for whom shopping at Aldi isn’t a convenient option. We’re committed to changing that and opening nearly four new stores a week before Christmas clearly demonstrates our progress with this.
“The new stores bring us one step closer to our goal of making our award-winning products at unbeatable prices easily accessible to even more shoppers across the country, and we look forward to welcoming local customers in for their weekly shop.”
Last month, Aldi also opened its 50th London store in Dalston as it continues to invest in expanding its presence in the capital.
