Aldi announces 16 new UK store locations: Full list

Group investing £370m in new stores this year as part of plans to reach 1,500 UK sites

Discount supermarket chain Aldi has announced plans to launch 16 new stores across the UK over the coming months.

The German-based retailer, which already operates more than 1,080 UK outlets, is pressing ahead with an ambitious expansion drive to grow its portfolio of shops throughout the country.

On Tuesday, the group announced the locations of 16 forthcoming supermarket sites.

New openings will include stores in Watford and Hoxton in London, Hattersley in Greater Manchester, and Balsall Common in the West Midlands.

The proposals form part of Aldi’s long-term ambition to extend its UK presence to 1,500 locations.

In January, Aldi revealed it was targeting the opening of approximately 40 new stores in 2026, in keeping with its long-term growth strategy.

The latest wave of new openings follows the launch of its newest store at Salford Quays last month, with the retailer committing £370 million to new store investment this year.

Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: “At Aldi, we’re committed to making high-quality, affordable food accessible to everyone, which is why we continue to invest in expanding our store network across the UK.

“Our £370 million investment in new stores this year will help us bring Aldi’s unbeatable value to even more communities, supporting local economies through our industry-leading pay for colleagues.”
