Aldi looking to bring new stores to West Midlands - including in Wolverhampton
Aldi is searching for new store locations in the West Midlands as part of its expansion plans - including in Wolverhampton.
The supermarket chain recently invited the public to suggest areas most in need of an Aldi store.
It has now identified "priority areas" in the West Midlands where it is actively looking, including Birmingham and Wolverhampton.
Aldi currently has more than 1,050 stores across the UK and said it is working towards a long-term target of 1,500.
Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: "We want to make high-quality, affordable food accessible to everyone, and that means opening new stores in the communities that need them most.
"The response from the public has been invaluable in helping us identify where demand is greatest, and where we need to focus our efforts on finding the sites that can become new stores."
Aldi is searching for sites that can accommodate a 20,000 sq ft store with around 100 parking spaces, ideally near a main road with good visibility and access.
Anybody who has a site that may fit Aldi’s requirements should contact realestateacquisitions@aldi.co.uk
