Aldi plans a £370m investment to open 40 new stores over the next two years.
The discounter plans to open new stores in Southam (Warwickshire), Hastings (East Sussex) and Amersham (Buckinghamshire).
The move is part of a £1.6bn investment announced last year to support the retailer’s aim of reaching 1,500 UK stores.
Following a successful 2025 expansion, the retailer opened new stores across the UK, from Kirkintilloch to Eastbourne, including Fulham Broadway in London and Deeside in Wales.
Giles Hurley, CEO at Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “Our unwavering commitment is to make high-quality, affordable groceries accessible to everybody.
“But we recognise that there are still areas without an Aldi store, so our expansion plans for 2026 are designed to address some of these gaps as we work towards our long-term goal of 1,500 UK stores.”
According to recent research, families in more than 200 UK towns are spending nearly £2,437 more each year on groceries because they don’t have easy access to an Aldi supermarket.
