Aldi to launch Lumberjack sauce range in stores soon
Brothers Brendan and Jayden Manders started out their enterprise from their mum's kitchen with just £100 each and are now fulfilling their mission of "bringing bold flavour to [the] family table".
Two of their sauces will be launched as a Specialbuy in Aldi stores from Sunday, August 17.

The Lumberjaxe Backyard BBQ Sauce and Lumberjaxe Moonshine Mango Sauce will be sold for £3.99 each in 250g containers.
Aldi added: "While Backyard BBQ offers a classically rich, smoky and sticky flavour, Moonshine Mango brings a sweet and fruity taste with a hint of spice.
"Whether being used to marinate or simply to dip, the sauces promise to add a flavour that packs a punch."
Shoppers will need to be quick if they want to get their hands on the sauces though, because as a Specialbuy, once the products are all sold, that will be it.
Lumberjaxe co-founder, Brendan Manders, said: 'Honestly, it's a bit surreal. If someone told us last year we'd be in Aldi stores, we'd have laughed!

"We're just buzzing that even more people can now try our sauces without paying a fortune."
His brother and other Lumberjaxe co-founder, Jayden Manders, added: "Seeing our sauces on Aldi shelves is a 'pinch-me' moment.
"We've poured everything into this range and knowing families are enjoying something that started in our mum's kitchen? That's just incredible!"
Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK, said: 'At Aldi, we love to champion growing UK businesses.
"Brendan and Jayden's story is truly inspiring, and the sauces are delicious, so we can't wait to bring this fantastic product to our shoppers — we hope they love it!'
Aldi was founded by brothers Karl and Theo Albrecht in 1946, when they took over their mother's store in Essen, Germany.
This business was split into two separate groups in 1960, which became Aldi Nord (initially Northern West Germany) and Aldi Süd (initially Southern West Germany).

The two groups have been financially and legally separate in Germany since 1966.

The current CEO of Aldi UK is Giles Hurley, who has held that position since May 2018.

Welsh town to get bigger and better Aldi after safety concerns raised
Welsh town to get bigger and better Aldi after safety concerns raised 'Access to the Aldi we have now is horrendous, I'm surprised no-one has been killed' said one councillor The scheme is for a new Aldi store at Cardigan's Bath House Road (Image: Local Democracy Reporting Service) Plans for a new Aldi supermarket in a Welsh town have been approved after concerns were raised about "horrendous" access to the existing store. At a Ceredigion Council development this week, TJ Morris Ltd was granted permission for a new store and related works at in Bath House Road in Cardigan, which will be bigger than the current shop on Aberystwyth Road. The application comes after a consultation period that ran from December 2024 to January 2025. A report for councillors revealed the proposal, featuring 82 car parking spaces, will share access with a previously approved Home Bargains outlet at the same location. The document stated: "The existing store, consented in 2007, is constrained in size (1,230 sqm gross internal area) and is stated to no longer meets Aldi's operational requirements." For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . The document adds: "The proposed site is stated to offer the only viable opportunity within Cardigan to accommodate a larger, modern store and retain Aldi's presence in the town. Aldi plans to continue trading from the existing store until the new unit is operational. "The current store employs 39 staff, all of whom would be retained, with approximately 10 additional jobs created and it is stated that further employment opportunities would arise during the construction, fit-out, and ongoing maintenance of the new store. "It is also stated that Aldi, as freeholder of their existing store, intend for it to be re-occupied by an alternative use rather than continue as a food store once their new premises is available." Article continues below The plans for a new Aldi store in Cardigan (Image: Local Democracy Reporting Service) The report continued: "Importantly, the proposal is for the relocation of an existing Aldi store from an out-of-centre site to an edge-of-centre location. "Most of the new store's turnover is expected to be transferred from the existing store, rather than drawing trade away from other retailers. This relocation is not considered a negative impact under planning policy, as it improves accessibility and supports more sustainable shopping patterns. "Furthermore, as detailed within the planning statement, it can be reasonably assumed that Aldi will not dispose of their current premises to a market competitor and therefore, subject to consents, its current 1,230sqm of retail floorspace may be lost and partially offset any short-term increase in overall floorspace within Cardigan. "It is stated that the development would help retain local expenditure that is currently leaking outside of the town centre, such as to the out-of-centre Tesco or stores outside Cardigan. This could lead to more linked trips with the town centre and increased footfall, enhancing the vitality of local businesses." It added: "The development is stated to represent an investment of over £6 million into the local economy and strengthens the presence of a major retailer in a more sustainable, accessible location near the town centre, enhancing consumer choice and competition." During the August meeting, councillors were told the new shop would be 53% larger. Ward councillor Sian Maehrlein backed the plans, saying: "Access to the Aldi we have now is horrendous, I'm surprised no-one has been killed on that junction. It's going to create more jobs, no problem." Committee members gave their unanimous backing to the proposal. Article continues below

Kazakhstan holds key to Celtic transfer cash
It's been clear for a while now Celtic are reverting to a previous model when it comes to sanctioning a big transfer the recent past, when they've not been guaranteed Champions League football, they've opted to see whether the existing squad is good enough to navigate the qualifiers before other words, make the group phase, Brendan, and then we'll loosen the purse strings manager has been asking for quality signings for quite a while. He still doesn't have them in the forward areas and while deals are there in the background waiting to be done, Celtic won't give the green light until they know what kind of revenue is coming in. Champions League level or Europa League?Which means it all boils down to Kazakhstan and a trip to face Kairat Almaty a week on Tuesday. Before then, of course, the Scottish champions will hope to have bagged a few goals in the home leg to give themselves some comfort and stakes could not be higher. It's quite the gamble to wait until the last few days of the transfer window to make your can be done, of course, but prices tend to inflate at that late stage. Witness the £26m outlay roughly this time last year for Adam Idah, Arne Engels and Auston Trusty. Two of whom were on the bench for Celtic's first two league matches while striker Idah is yet to get off the mark this board is either trusting – or gambling – that the current crop of players, minus the departed Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn and Greg Taylor plus the injured Jota, are good enough to get the job done against the Kazakh extra nous Brendan Rodgers and his men learned through last season's league phase campaign should stand them in good is not, however, the same team, either in personnel or form. The levels reached away to Bayern Munich were a peak from which the side has had a natural drop-off. The manager has pretty much admitted the only way to get back to those levels is to spend money on a striker and a winger at the bare minimum. The kind of money available to him will be determined by the outcome of this play-off. Over to you then, Brendan.
