Hide AdCiaran Aldridge, national property director at Aldi UK, said: “Aldi is growing rapidly – we are welcoming around a million new customers into our stores every year.
“But there are also hundreds of towns across the UK where there is not an Aldi, meaning there are hundreds of thousands of people who can’t easily access the high-quality affordable food our customers love.”
