Aldi has revealed its latest priority locations across the UK as it seeks to secure sites for new stores.
It comes as the discount giant continues its expansion as it aims to make “high-quality, affordable food” accessible to more communities.
The announcement builds on Aldi’s wider UK expansion plans.
The supermarket is investing over £370 million into new stores this year as it works towards its long-term target of 1,500 locations nationwide.
It also follows Aldi’s recent £40 million investment in London, where eight new stores are set to open this year.
