Embarking on a significant initiative, over 30 Aldi stores across the UK are slated for comprehensive upgrades this summer.
The supermarket will channel more than £90 million into store improvements by 2024, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to enhancing the shopping experience.
Over 100 stores nationwide are getting an upgrade this year – from Crewe to Cardiff and Didcot to Dumfries.
Changes will vary at the store level, but they include providing more space to shop and ensuring stores have more sustainable features through energy-efficient technology, such as installing doors on fridges to reduce energy use and using natural refrigerants to reduce carbon emissions.
“Aldi attracted more new customers than any other grocery retailer in the last 12 months, and we want to continue offering our shoppers the best possible in-store experience,” said Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK.
“We’re committed to ensuring that the shopping experience is on par with the high-quality products and services we offer. Finding ways to reduce any environmental impact as we grow our store estate across the country is also vital to these changes.”
Further improvements include updated signage and a redesign of store layouts.
Most work will occur in June, July and August, with stores like Leek, Newport, and Brierly Hill set to undergo the most significant changes.
