Aldi opens four new stores in a day
Aldi has opened four new stores in a day this week as it continues its expansion across the UK.
The new sites are in Cribbs Causeway in Bristol, Hetton-le-Hole in Tyne and Wear, Ashton-in-Makerfield in Greater Manchester, and Macduff in Banffshire.
The move follows a series of store openings in recent weeks in places like Sedgley in the West Midlands, Horsham in West Sussex and Muswell Hill in London.
The supermarket is investing £800 million in expanding its UK footprint this year as part of its long-term target of having 1,500 stores in the country.

“To be opening four new stores in one day is an outstanding effort from the team and shows just how serious we are about bringing more stores to communities up and down the country.”
