Aldi has revealed the areas it wants to create new stores in Hampshire as it looks to invest £1.4bn over the next two years.

The supermarket recently opened it's 1,00th store in the UK and is looking to expand to 1,500 in the future, some of which will be in Hampshire.

It is searching for freehold town-centre, edge-of-centre, and retail park sites suitable for property development.

The sites should be able to accommodate a 20,000 sq foot store with around 100 parking spaces.

Where does Aldi want to build its Hampshire stores?

The areas in Hampshire where Aldi is currently looking for sites include Aldershot and Winchester.

It will also be investing in the development of new and expanded distribution centres, including its new distribution centre in Leicestershire. 

Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “We want to make our great value groceries accessible to all, and to do that we need more stores, particularly in towns and areas that don’t have an Aldi already.  

“The areas we’ve identified in our latest list are places where there is demand for stores and we are committed to continue investing until we can bring our quality products and unbeatable prices to as many people as possible.” 

Anybody who has a site that may fit Aldi’s requirements should contact info.nationalproperty@aldi.co.uk.
