Aldi is poised to open four new stores in London as part of a £48million investment in the Greater London area. The supermarket giant has revealed plans to launch 80 stores nationwide between 2026 and 2027, with new locations set to include Edgware Road, Orpington in Bromley, Willesden, and Hanworth in Hounslow.
Further potential sites have been earmarked for Shepherd’s Bush, Chelsea, and Elephant and Castle in the coming years. London remains a key target area for Aldi, where it intends to invest £48million of its £1.6 billion expansion plan over the next two years.
Currently boasting 1,060 stores, Aldi has previously announced ambitions to increase this figure to 1,500 across the UK. The supermarket chain stated that its two-year expansion plan would generate thousands of jobs and provide more opportunities for British suppliers, reports MyLondon.
Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer for Aldi UK and Ireland, commented: “Shoppers are still finding things difficult and that’s why we’re staying laser-focused on doing what Aldi does best – offering customers great quality products at unbeatable prices.
“Nobody else is making the same commitment to everyday low prices – no clubs, no gimmicks, no tricks – just prices our customers can trust and quality they can depend on.”
“Since we opened our first UK store more than 35 years ago, we’ve brought high-quality, affordable groceries to almost 800 towns and cities, but there are hundreds more communities that don’t have an Aldi nearby.
“We’re more determined than ever to meet that demand, and that’s why we’re investing a record £1.6bn over the next two years, to bring Aldi prices closer to millions more customers.”
