Aldi to Open New Stores in Cheshire as Part of UK Expansion
The discount chain has 25 priority locations and plans to invest more than £370 million as it works toward 1,500 UK stores.
Aldi is targeting West Plymouth for its sixth city store, adding the area to its list of 25 priority locations for nationwide expansion.
The retailer aims to reach 1,500 stores across Britain, committing over £370 million in investments this year to secure sites offering affordable food to local communities.
Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK Jonathan Neale said new outlets bring "great value" to customers while creating local jobs and offering industry-leading pay.
Separately, the supermarket has resubmitted plans to Wealden District Council for a food store and care home in Polegate, aiming to resolve previous traffic and environmental concerns.
While local councillors previously opposed the Polegate development, citing "unacceptable highway safety risks," a decision on the updated application is due by September 30.
