Aldi plans to open new stores across Wiltshire and is working to identify suitable locations.

As part of the retailer’s plans for the county, shoppers will have the opportunity to nominate towns where there is a need for a new supermarket.

The most popular areas suggested will then be considered as part of a long-term expansion of the chain’s stores across the UK from 1,050 to over 1,500.

In 2023, Aldi revealed it planned to build new stores in Wiltshire over the coming years as part of a £1.4 billion investment nationally.

At the time, the supermarket was eyeing up Devizes, Bradford on Avon, and Salisbury as potential destinations.

Jonathan Neale, managing director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “We’ve always believed that great quality food should be within everyone’s reach and many communities would therefore still benefit from having an Aldi nearby.

“We’re always looking at key places where we see potential, but we want to hear directly from the public about where the demand is greatest.

“Their input is invaluable as we continue to grow and bring Aldi’s unbeatable value to more areas across Britain.”

Customers can nominate areas for consideration by emailing NextNewStore@aldi.co.uk by June 8.

Aldi plans to share the results and unveil the next round of priority locations later this year.
