German discount chain Aldi is planning to open a new store in the UK every week, following a 20 per cent rise in sales in the past month.
Paul Foley, managing director of Aldi, said that the budget chain plans to spend £1.5 billion in the next five years, building a new store a week and recruiting 1,500 staff.
Aldi is currently working on opening 227 outlets and has an eventual target of 1,500 across the UK.
