The UK’s fourth-largest supermarket new stores are set to open within the next 16 weeks, and will include locations in Muswell Hill, London, and Caterham, Surrey.

The discount supermarket chain’s record investment also includes plans to invest £1.4 billion over the next two years as part of its long-term goal to reach 1,500 stores across the country.

Giles Hurley, chief executive of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “For every £1 of profit generated last year, we’re investing £2 this year – opening more stores and building the supply infrastructure to bring high-quality, affordable groceries to millions more families the length and breadth of Britain.”

He added: “As we head towards the Christmas trading period, we’re all set to launch our biggest and best ever seasonal range, including hundreds of premium range products at unbeatable prices for our customers.”
