Aldi after feedback on new stores

ALDI is asking shoppers to name locations that would be perfect for a new shop. The discount supermarket chain is looking to expand and, as part of a nationwide initiative, is urging people in Lincolnshire to suggest locations.

The areas which have the most suggestions will be considered for development. It comes as part of the supermarket’s plans to build hundreds of new stores across the UK.

The retailer currently has more than 1,000 stores and is committed to continuing towards its long-term target of over 1,500 stores across the UK. There are 18 Aldi stores in Lincolnshire.

Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “We want to make high-quality food accessible to all. But there are still some areas that either don’t have an Aldi or have potential for more stores.

“We’ve identified some key places where there is demand for more stores already, but now we are calling on the public to share their views. This will be used to help inform our property search over the coming years.”

Those wanting to put their town forward to be considered should contact the supermarket by emailing NextNewStore@Aldi.co. uk, clearly stating their postcode and why they believe their area needs a new Aldi store. The deadline for suggestions is May 31.
