Communications director at Aldi UK Richard Thornton said: “We want to make our great value groceries accessible to all, and to do that we need more stores, particularly in towns and areas that don’t have an Aldi already.
“The areas we’ve identified in our latest list are places where there is demand for stores and we are committed to continue investing until we can bring our quality products and unbeatable prices to as many people as possible.”
This comes as Aldi has made a number of changes in its stores, updating packaging and making moves to become more sustainable.
It has removed single use cutlery from its food to go area and its updated stores with more loose fruits and vegetables to cut back on packaging.
