Aldi's full list of 30 stores getting complete overhaul from Scotland to Kent
Budget supermarket Aldi has unveiled bold plans to revamp 30 stores across the UK in the coming months - and to open 10 brand new locations as part of a £650 million investment Aldi is giving 30 stores across the UK a huge makeover, as part of an ambitious £650 investment. The budget supermarket, which currently has more than 1,050 stores, will also open 10 more stores in the next 14 weeks - with each one slated to create around 40 new jobs with 'market-leading levels of pay'. Often crowned the UK's cheapest supermarket, Aldi hopes its mega expansion will bring low prices to even more shoppers. 'Enhancement' to select stores, including Herne Bay in Kent and Ancoats in Manchester, will begin in the coming months. These include additional in-store features such as improved Bakery and Health and Beauty fixtures for customers, as well as CO2 refrigeration upgrades. The announcement comes after the retailer increased its Store Assistants' pay earlier this year, with hourly rates increasing to at least £12.75 and £14.05 within the M25. "At Aldi, our goal is to ensure everyone has access to high-quality food at unbeatable prices," Jonathan Neale of Aldi UK said. "We're committed to achieving that with our ambitious store opening plans. "We're targeting 40 new store openings in 2025, while many of our current stores will also be getting a refresh to enhance the customer experience. [This] means we can consistently offer the best value for money to even more shoppers across the UK."

Map shows where 10 new Aldi shops will open this summer
Budget shoppers rejoice as Aldi is about to open 10 brand new shops. Not only is the German supermarket opening new branches, but there are 30 existing shops which are set to receive a refurb in the coming weeks. Aldi is already the UK's fourth-largest supermarket with more than 1,000 shops nationwide, but now it's bringing its wares to new areas like Oldbury in the West Midlands, Fulham Broadway in London and Deeside in Wales. The brand hopes to eventually open 1,500 shops in the UK, and says it's spending £650million in 2025 towards that goal. These 10 new shops are set to open in the next 14 weeks, the brand says, and each new branch will create about 40 new jobs. In total, Aldi plans to open 40 new shops this year. Of those, it hopes to open nine branches within the M25, spending £55million in the capital. Jonathan Neale from Aldi UK said: 'At Aldi, our goal is to ensure everyone has access to high-quality food at unbeatable prices, and we're committed to achieving that with our ambitious store opening plans. 'We're targeting 40 new store openings in 2025, while many of our current stores will also be getting a refresh to enhance the customer experience, meaning we can consistently offer the best value for money to even more shoppers across the UK.'

The budget supermarket had its best-ever Christmas last year, making £1.6billion in the four weeks to Christmas Eve.
