Aldi says it will open 16 new supermarkets across the UK over the coming months, supported by a £370 million investment. Multiple outlets report that the retailer has released a list of the locations for the planned openings. The new stores are part of Aldi’s wider expansion plans, with the company stating it aims to operate 1,500 stores in the UK in the longer term. One report notes that the 16-store programme follows Aldi’s earlier announcement of plans for 40 additional stores earlier in the year. Another outlet specifies that the openings are scheduled for 2026, describing them as arriving in the next few months, though the overall timing is presented as within the near term. Across coverage, the focus is on Aldi’s continued effort to grow its footprint through new site additions, with the reported investment figure and the longer-term target for total store numbers forming the central points. The specific stores and areas included are highlighted by those publishing location lists, including coverage that references openings in Greater Manchester among the new sites.
