Aldi will open 16 new stores between Thursday 6th November and Friday 12th December 2025, bringing its award-winning value and unbeatable prices to even more communities across the UK in the run up to Christmas.
From Kirkintilloch in Scotland, Cheadle in Staffordshire, to Billericay in Essex and Kentish Town in London, each new store will give shoppers access to Aldi’s renowned low prices, fresh British produce and exclusive Specialbuys.
The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket is investing £650 million across Britain through its store opening and refurbishment programme in 2025, with each new site creating around 40 jobs.
Aldi also recently announced it would be doubling down on its investment with a £1.6 billion commitment over the next two years, opening 40 stores each year.
Jonathan Neale, managing director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “At Aldi, we’re focused on making affordable, high-quality food accessible to as many people as possible – and opening new stores is at the heart of how we do that.
“Launching 16 new stores in just over five weeks is a significant milestone for our business and a clear demonstration of the pace and ambition behind our growth plans. It means more communities will benefit from Aldi’s value and choice in the weeks ahead and beyond.”
To prepare for the Christmas rush, Aldi has launched an ambitious recruitment drive to hire more than 4,500 store colleagues across the UK. The new recruits will help restock shelves, assist customers and ensure stores run smoothly during one of the busiest periods of the retail calendar.
New store colleagues will also benefit from Aldi’s position as Britain’s highest-paying supermarket, with Store Assistants earning from £13.02 an hour nationally and from £14.35 inside the M25 from September 2025.
