Aldi is to continue its expansion in Scotland, with plans to invest more than £56m over the next two years.
The discounter plans to open three new stores in Broughty Ferry, Straiton, and Castle Douglas next year.
In addition, Aldi has committed to extend five of its existing stores, including Erskine, Port Glasgow and Alexandria over the next two years.
Richard Holloway, Regional Managing Director for Aldi Scotland, said: “As we look to the new year, we remain committed to reaching more customers than ever before, with the opening of more stores and increased investment in Scotland. Next year will be extra special for us as we mark 30 years since we opened our first store in Scotland on Glencairn Street in Kilmarnock.
“Whether it’s enhancing our product offerings, maintaining the lowest prices, supporting our dedicated teams, or contributing to the communities we serve – every investment is a testament to our unwavering commitment to Scotland.”
Aldi’s Scottish Sports Fund, which has donated nearly £400,000 to amateur sports clubs to date, will continue in 2024. The retailer’s popular Supermarket Sweep initiative will also return for its ninth year. More than £10,000 was donated to Scottish foodbanks through the initiative in 2023.
In November, Aldi unveiled a new partnership with Age Scotland, encouraging shoppers to submit festive greetings to help combat loneliness among the elderly this winter.
