Aldi plans to open 16 new supermarket stores across the UK over the coming months, supported by a £370 million investment, according to multiple outlets. The retailer publishes the store-opening locations and says the programme forms part of its broader expansion strategy. Several reports link the initiative to Aldi’s long-term ambition to operate 1,500 stores in the UK.
The Manchester Evening News also notes the company previously announced plans for 40 new stores earlier in the year, framing the 16 additional openings as part of a wider growth pipeline. Other sources echo that the new sites are being revealed in advance and list the specific locations included in the rollout. One outlet highlights that two of the planned stores are in Greater Manchester.
Overall, the reporting agrees on the key points that Aldi is investing £370 million, is set to open 16 additional stores, and is pursuing a longer-term target of reaching 1,500 UK locations, with details provided through a published list of new store sites.
