Aldi to invest more than £40 million in Scotland over the next two years
Aldi is to invest more than £40 million in Scotland over the next two years as it continues its expansion.
This will include the launch of supermarkets in Arbroath, Baillieston and Kirkintilloch in 2025.
The retailer has also committed to extending, refurbishing and upgrading six of its existing stores over the next two years at sites in Galashiels, Linlithgow, Glenrothes, Stirling, Hamilton and Carluke.
In addition, Aldi will be launching a recruitment drive next year for over 100 new logistics team members to work at its Bathgate regional distribution centre.
The retailer has been celebrating 30 years in Scotland this year after opening its first store in Kilmarnock in 1994.
Sandy Mitchell (pictured), regional managing director for Aldi Scotland, said: “I’m very proud to reflect on a highly successful 2024, during which time we welcomed 58 million customers to our Scottish stores, forged valuable partnerships with a range of new suppliers, and celebrated 30 years of Aldi in Scotland.
“As we look ahead to 2025, we remain committed to reaching more customers than ever before, with the opening of more stores and increased investment in Scotland.
“This move is a testament to our belief in Scotland’s vibrant economy and the exceptional quality of its suppliers. We remain committed to championing Scotland, creating local jobs, and strengthening our relationships with local partners as we continue to expand and enhance our offering.”
