Aldi to open 40 new UK stores in 2026 as part of 370m expansion
"We recognise there are still areas across the UK without an Aldi store,"
"Our expansion plans are designed to address these gaps and bring Aldi's high-quality, affordable food to more customers."
"We've always believed that access to high-quality affordable food is a right, not a privilege, and that's why it's our mission to make this a reality for customers up and down the UK,"
Aldi plans to open 40 new stores across the UK in 2026 with a £370 million investment aimed at expanding access to low-cost groceries. New locations will include Southam, Hastings and Amersham, targeting communities without a current Aldi presence. The retailer operates around 1,060 UK stores and has a longer-term ambition to reach 1,500. The 2026 investment forms part of a wider £1.6 billion two-year programme to open 80 new stores. Recent 2025 openings included Eastbourne, Fulham Broadway and Deeside. The rollout targets network gaps and reflects confidence in the value-focused UK grocery market.
