Aldi is set to make changes to over 20 of its UK stores by the end of the year. The German supermarket chain will upgrade 23 sites, with two set to benefit from major extensions.

The shops will see upgrades including refreshed fixtures, enhanced layouts and new sustainability features. They will also get wider aisles, brighter interiors and more space for products. It comes as Aldi continues its store enhancement programme, which has already seen 500 supermarkets improved. It was previously confirmed that the stores in Barrow-in-Furness and Ebbw Vale will be expanded between now and December. A further 21 stores will also see improvements. Aldi plans to open around 40 new stores across the UK this year, including in Fulham Broadway and Shoreditch in London. There will also be new supermarkets in Eastbourne, Waterbrook, Meadowfield and Market Harborough.

Aldi UK managing director of national real estate Jonathan Neale said: "Our investment into our store estate is part of our ongoing commitment to provide the very best shopping experience for our customers.

"By extending and refreshing our existing sites, we're providing more sustainable and convenient stores, ensuring they continue to meet the needs of the communities they serve for years to come."

Mr Neale added: "At Aldi, our goal is to make sure people across the UK have access to affordable, high-quality food, and opening new stores is key to making that happen.

"We're now opening an average of one new store a week for the rest of 2025, showing just how ambitious our plans are to build a store network that will help us reach millions of new customers.

"But it's not just about openings - it's also about making sure we have the best-paid teams in place to run them."
