Aldi says it will invest a record £900 million in the UK and open more than 40 new stores next year, as it reports strong sales performance. The company operates 1,092 budget supermarkets across the UK and Ireland and says it is “increasing confidence” in its growth plans.
In its latest annual results, Aldi reports record annual revenue of £19 billion, with sales rising 5%. It also says it opened 40 stores during the period. However, profits are lower, falling by £2.6 million to £433 million, which outlets link to Aldi cutting prices amid ongoing cost inflation. The coverage emphasizes Aldi’s shift toward faster expansion alongside continued pressure on profitability.
