The discounter is planning to create better consumer shopping experience and upgrade refrigeration to lower carbon emissions
Aldi is set to invest £67 million in upgrading its existing stores in 2025.
The UK’s fourth largest supermarket has spent almost £600mn on store upgrades since 2017, and with the first phase of these updates nearly complete, Aldi is moving on to the next stage of its store enhancement programme.
The initial store upgrades focused on creating a better shopping experience for customers with more space for fresh, chilled, and food-to-go ranges, alongside simpler layouts, improved fixtures and energy efficient LED lighting.
The new phase will bring further improvements, including additional in-store features such as improved Bakery and Health and Beauty fixtures for customers. Stores will also benefit from CO2 refrigeration upgrades, contributing to an estimated reduction in carbon emissions equivalent to heating over 6,500 homes, when the programme is complete.
Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: “Aldi’s £67m investment is a major step forward in our commitment to delivering an even better shopping experience for our customers across Britain.
“Building on the success of our previous upgrades, we’re enhancing store layouts as part of our dedication to providing customers with more sustainable stores, convenience and an improved shopping experience nationwide.”
Aldi is also investing approximately £650 million in new store openings across Britain in 2025, with key locations including Fulham Broadway in London, Billericay in Essex, and Cheadle in Stoke-on-Trent.
