Aldi – Britain’s fourth largest supermarket with more than 1,020 stores and more than 45,000 colleagues – said it would also spend £1.4 billion on expansion over two years as it works towards a long-term plan for 1,500 sites in the UK.Details of the investment came as German-owned Aldi said it notched up its highest ever annual UK and Ireland sales growth of 16% to £17.9 billion for 2023, up from £15.5 billion in 2022. Pre-tax profits more than tripled to £536.

Giles Hurley, chief executive of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: "For every £1 of profit generated last year, we're investing £2 this year – opening more stores and building the supply infrastructure to bring high-quality, affordable groceries to millions more families the length and breadth of Britain."
He added: "As we head towards the Christmas trading period, we’re all set to launch our biggest and best ever seasonal range, including hundreds of premium range products at unbeatable prices for our customers.”– Fulham Broadway, London– Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland– Penistone Road, Sheffield
