Aldi is opening nine new stores by the end of this year as the supermarket revealed its investment plans for the next two years. The retailer, currently operating 1,060 stores across the UK, has revealed ambitious plans to expand its footprint to 1,500 locations nationwide.

This growth strategy is expected to generate thousands of new jobs, offering a significant boost to employment. Additionally, the company said that the expansion will open up more opportunities for British suppliers, strengthening local supply chains and supporting domestic businesses as it scales up operations.

Giles Hurley, chief executive officer for Aldi UK and Ireland, said: "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. No clubs, no gimmicks, no tricks - just prices our customers can trust and quality they can depend on."

He added: "Since we opened our first UK store over 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 £1.6billion over the next two years, to bring Aldi prices closer to millions more customers."
