Aldi has unveiled plans to invest around £650m across its UK store network next year.
The German discounter said this includes the development of new stores in Fulham Broadway in London, Billericay in Essex, and Cheadle in Stoke-on-Trent, with the retailer targeting around 30 new store openings in total in 2025.
This forms part of Aldi’s package of annual investment to accelerate its expansion across the UK’s towns and cities.
It said “the rate of investment in 2025 continues from an equally busy new store opening programme in 2024”, with the retailer opening in new locations such as Totton in Hampshire, Cribbs Causeway in Bristol and Pwllheli in Gwynedd in recent weeks.

The move forms part of its long-term target of 1,500 stores across the UK, with the supermarket investing £800m in expanding its UK footprint this year alone.
The plans will see it launch a further eight stores at the start of 2025 followed by around 40 more in its next financial year.
Aldi UK and Ireland CEO Giles Hurley said: “At Aldi, our unwavering commitment has always been to provide Britain with the best value groceries.
“The demand for our unbeatable prices is now at an all-time high, which gives us the confidence to continue investing in Britain to provide greater access to our award-winning products at the lowest prices.
“We recognise that there are still areas without an Aldi store, so our expansion plans for 2025 are designed to address some of these gaps as we work towards our long-term goal of 1,500 UK stores.”
