Aldi to open 16 new stores before Christmas – full list of locations
The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket is investing £650 million across Britain with each new site creating around 40 jobs
Aldi has announced plans to open 16 new stores by Christmas 2025, with the first set to launch in just a few days. The supermarket giant revealed that these new outlets will all be operational between Thursday 6 November and Friday 12 December.
The new stores will be located in various locations across the UK, including Liverpool, Kirkintilloch in Scotland, Cheadle in Staffordshire, Billericay in Essex, and Kentish Town in London. The fourth-largest supermarket in the UK is investing £650 million across the country through its store opening and refurbishment programme in 2025, creating approximately 40 jobs at each new site.
In addition to this, Aldi recently declared its intention to double down on its investment with a commitment of £1.6 billion over the next two years, resulting in the opening of 40 stores annually.
Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, stated: “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.”
In anticipation of the Christmas rush, Aldi has initiated a bold recruitment campaign to employ over 4,500 store colleagues across the UK. These new team members will be instrumental in replenishing stock, aiding customers and ensuring the smooth operation of stores during one of the retail calendar’s most hectic periods.
New store colleagues will also reap the benefits of Aldi’s status as Britain’s top-paying supermarket, with Store Assistants earning from £13.02 an hour nationally and from £14.35 inside the M25 from September 2025.
