Aldi is opening 16 new stores over the coming months as part of its continued investment in expanding its footprint across the UK.
The discounter, which has more than 1,080 stores nationwide, will launch new sites in areas including Watford and Hoxton in London, Hattersley in Greater Manchester, and Balsall Common in the West Midlands.
