Aldi to invest more than £6 million in Surrey as part of 2025 expansion plans
Aldi is set more invest than £6 million in Surrey in 2025.
This includes the development of a new store in Caterham, with the store currently expected to open in August 2025.
The investment of £6,760,000 is part of Aldi’s £650 million package of annual investment to accelerate its expansion across Britain’s towns and cities.
The rate of investment in 2025 continues on from an equally busy new store opening programme in 2024, with Aldi opening in new locations such as Totton in Hampshire, Cribbs Causeway in Bristol and Pwllheli in Gwynedd in recent weeks.
Giles Hurley, chief executive officer, Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “At Aldi, our unwavering commitment has always been to provide Britain with the best value groceries.
“The demand for our unbeatable prices is now at an all-time high, which gives us the confidence to continue investing in Britain to provide greater access to our award-winning products at the lowest prices.
“We recognise that there are still areas without an Aldi store, so our expansion plans for 2025 are designed to address some of these gaps as we work towards our long-term goal of 1,500 UK stores.”
In May, Aldi announced its second pay increase for Aldi store colleagues this year, paying a minimum hourly rate of £12.40 nationally and £13.65 within the M25.
