Aldi is set to invest over £300m in upgrading and extending its existing UK stores in 2026, as part of its continued commitment to investing in Britain.
The supermarket’s investment will support a wide-ranging programme of improvements, including store extensions and enhancement upgrades.
Changes will vary by location but will include creating more space to shop and introducing more sustainable features.
These include energy-efficient technologies such as fridge doors to reduce energy use and natural refrigerants to help reduce carbon emissions.
Further improvements will include updated fixtures and signage, as well as redesigning store layouts.
Aldi stores set to receive an extension in the coming months include:
- Beck Road, Huddersfield
- Glamorgan Vale RP, Llantrisant
- Bebington Road, Bebington
- Springbank Road, Stirling
- Smithdown Road, Liverpool
- Brooks Road, Lewes

Other Aldi sites across the UK will also receive upgrades this year, including locations in Chester-le-Street (County Durham), Handsworth Road (Sheffield), Haverhill (Suffolk), Tybridge Street (Worcester) and Chorley (Lancashire).
Aldi UK and Ireland CEO Giles Hurley said: “As well as opening new stores, we’re also investing in existing ones to make sure everyone can get what they need from Aldi.
“By extending some stores, and by upgrading and improving others across the country, we can serve even more customers while creating even better shopping environments for our colleagues and shoppers.
“Together with our new stores, that will mean more people can access Aldi’s high-quality products at unbeatable prices.”
The announcement follows the discounter’s recent £370m commitment to opening 40 new stores in 2026, as part of its two-year expansion programme.
The move forms part of the £1.6bn investment which was announced last year, as the retailer works towards its long-term ambition of opening 1,500 UK stores.
