Earlier this week, the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket said it planned to open 80 stores across 2026 and 2027.
It comes as part of huge £1.6billion investment plan.
Currently, the bargain supermarket has 1,060 sites across the UK, but it has a goal of hitting 1,500 sites.
Plus, Aldi has already revealed plans to open 11 more stores before the end of the year.
The firm will also pump £650million into opening new locations and refurbishing 35 before the year closes.
In May, the grocer published a list of 10 locations where it wants to open stores this summer, including Yorkshire Derbyshire and Norfolk.
And the budget chain has injected £55million into its capital city stores alone, with four of the new branches being in London.
Aldi also wants to open another 100 stores in London, bringing 3,500 new jobs in the capital.
Giles Hurley, chief executive at Aldi, said: “Since we opened our first UK store more than 35 years ago, we’ve brought high-quality, affordable groceries to almost 800 towns and cities, but there are hundreds more communities that don’t have an Aldi nearby.”
Just this week, the boss said that shoppers were “still finding things difficult” which is why it was “laser focused” on keeping its prices low.
Aldi, which is the UK’s cheapest supermarket, said it has already pumped £300million into trying to keep prices as low as possible for shoppers.
The warning came as the group said its total sales increased to £18.1billion in the UK and Ireland over 2024, up from £17.9billion the prior year, after opening a swathe of new stores during the year.
But operating profits fell to £435.5million from £552.9million the year earlier.
Talks on an expansion plan come as shoppers have already been told to brace themselves for price rises.
The Food and Drink Federation (FDF) warned that the price of groceries could rise by 5.7% before the end of the year, piling on further financial pressure ahead of the Christmas season.
Elsewhere, the 12-month inflation rate for food and non-alcoholic beverages hit 5.1% in August 2025, up from 4.9% in July
It marks the fifth month in a row that food price inflation has climbed.
If you are feeling the pinch you can use price comparison sites such as Trolley, to see what supermarkets are offering the best deals.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they’ve been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you’ll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you’ll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching “finest” or “luxury” products and instead going for “own” or value” type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they’re misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you’re on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
