Aldi opens 16 UK stores in November and December with £13 rule - full list

A major supermarket will be opening 16 new stores before the end of the year. Aldi is investing £650 million in its store opening and refurbishment programme in 2025, with each new site expected to create around 40 jobs.

The supermarket chain also recently announced it would be doubling down on its investment with a £1.6 billion commitment over the next two years, opening 40 stores each year. Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: "At Aldi, we're focused on making affordable, high-quality food accessible to as many people as possible - and opening new stores is at the heart of how we do that. Launching 16 new stores in just over five weeks is a significant milestone for our business and a clear demonstration of the pace and ambition behind our growth plans. It means more communities will benefit from Aldi's value and choice in the weeks ahead and beyond."

To prepare for the Christmas rush, Aldi has launched an ambitious recruitment drive to hire more than 4,500 store colleagues across the UK.

The new recruits will help restock shelves, assist customers and ensure stores run smoothly during one of the busiest periods of the retail calendar.

Aldi's position is Britain's highest-paying supermarket, with Store Assistants earning from £13.02 an hour nationally and from £14.35 inside the M25 from September 2025.
