The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket is set to open a raft of new stores in the coming weeks, creating 1,600 new roles.

Aldi, which currently operates over 1,050 stores, is continuing its growth with plans to open even more locations as part of a £650 million investment.

Job opportunities created as a result of the new store locations will include Store Managers, Assistant Store Managers, Deputy Store Managers, Store Assistants, and Cleaners.

Where will the new stores be?

Among the new stores set to open in the coming weeks are locations in March (Cambridgeshire), Moston (Greater Manchester), and Lytham (Lancashire).

In January, it was reported that the retail giant is investing an impressive £55 million into London alone, where nine new stores are set to open. Confirmed locations include Wimbledon, Fulham Broadway, Orpington, and Caterham in Surrey.

Kelly Stokes, HR Director at Aldi UK, said: “Our store colleagues are the best in the business and, as we continue to expand our store network and provide more customers with access to Aldi’s high-quality, affordable products, we’re going to need to grow those store teams with even more amazing people.

“We are committed to creating rewarding careers and offering market-leading pay for all our store colleagues. This year promises to be an exciting year as we bring even more Aldi stores to local communities across Britain.”
