Discounters: Aldi plans 40 new branches in Great Britain
The German discounter wants to expand in the UK and open numerous branches. This increases the pressure in the already highly competitive British food market.
Aldi plans to invest around 1 billion euros in its UK business next year, with funds going towards 40 new stores and its distribution network. The move aims to increase its market share in the competitive UK food market. The company will open 30 new stores in the next 10 weeks, bringing its total to 1092, and targets 1500 locations in the long term.
Aldi UK's operating profit was 432.9 million pounds in 2025, with a 2.3% margin, and its sales rose 5% to 19 billion pounds. The company has invested 340 million pounds in price cuts this year.
