Aldi is giving 30 stores across the UK a huge makeover, as part of an ambitious £650 investment.
The , which currently has more than 1,050 stores, will also open 10 more stores in the next 14 weeks - with each one slated to create around 40 new jobs with 'market-leading levels of pay'. Often crowned the UK's cheapest supermarket, hopes its mega expansion will bring low prices to even more shoppers.
'Enhancement' to select stores, including Herne Bay in Kent and Ancoats in Manchester, will begin in the coming months. These include additional in-store features such as improved Bakery and Health and Beauty fixtures for customers, as well as CO2 refrigeration upgrades. The announcement comes after the retailer increased its Store Assistants' pay earlier this year, with hourly rates increasing to at least £12.75 and £14.05 within the M25.
