Overview
- Aldi confirmed the first 10 UK locations for 2027 — Angel, Bridgend, Clapham, Exmouth, Halifax, Haywards Heath, Ivybridge, Kew, Ryde and Winnersh — in an announcement on Thursday, October 8, 2026.
- These sites form part of a planned £900 million investment programme that will fund 40 new stores across the UK in 2027.
- The retailer currently operates about 1,095 UK stores and has set a long-term goal of reaching 1,500 outlets.
- Aldi said the expansion follows recent moves to cut prices and that it expects the growth to create thousands of local jobs and increase spending with British suppliers.
- The roll-out builds on near-term openings already scheduled, with another 27 stores due to open before the end of 2026, and follows 2025 results that showed record sales of about £19 billion and price-reduction spending of roughly £340 million.
