The supermarket giant is targeting several areas in Cheshire, including West Widnes, Hartford, and Handforth. Aldi is currently seeking freehold, leasehold, or long leasehold sites in prominent locations with good visibility and access. "Opening new stores in these areas means we can bring great value to more customers, while also creating jobs and offering industry-leading pay." The new stores are expected to bring additional employment to the area, with Aldi continuing to offer the highest pay in the UK supermarket sector. This expansion is part of Aldi’s broader UK growth strategy, which includes investing more than £370 million in new stores this year.
