The supermarket is expanding with new branches, however, the 30 current stores will undergo renovations over the next few weeks.
Aldi, which already ranks as the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket with over 1,000 stores across the country, is now expanding into new regions such as Oldbury.

, 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.’
Aldi also says it’s increasing pay for its staff later this year – the second of 2025.
Back in March hourly rates increased to at least £12.75 (or £14.05 within the M25), but by September the rate will go up to £12.85 for those outside the M25 and £14.16 within.
The discount store experienced its most profitable Christmas ever in the previous year, generating £1.6 billion in sales during the period from early December up to Christmas Eve.
