The German discounter has unveiled plans to open 40 new stores in 2027 as it continues to work towards its ambition of reaching 1,500 UK stores.
Forming part of a £900 million investment programme, Aldi says the new locations will include Angel and Clapham in London, as well as Halifax, Exmouth and Bridgend.
The supermarket chain says the expansion drive will help create “thousands of jobs” as it looks to bring affordable groceries to more communities across the country.
Other locations confirmed for new Aldi stores in 2027 include Haywards Heath, Ivybridge, Kew, Ryde and Winnersh.
The investment programme will also see improvements made to the company’s wider distribution network.
Many of the new store locations outside London will be in smaller communities.
Aldi says this is a conscious effort to focus on communities that do not have easy access to affordable groceries because of limited local choice or competition.
Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: “We’re continuing to invest significantly across the UK as we progress towards our long-term ambition of 1,500 Aldi stores.
“These new locations are part of our £900 million investment programme for 2027 and will help us bring Aldi’s award-winning quality and unbeatable value to even more communities. We’re excited to take the next step in our expansion plans and look forward to welcoming customers through the doors of these new stores in the years ahead.”
The investment builds on the supermarket chain’s existing expansion programme, with plans already in motion to open 30 stores during the final months of 2026.
Aldi said the openings will help create more local jobs and support British suppliers.
