We previously reported how Aldi bosses were granted planning permission to build on the former Allied Distillers site on Castle Street. Aldi says the store will bring 35 jobs to the area and over £4 million in local investment. The supermarket investment will see Aldi bring new stores to Dumbarton, along with Bishopbriggs and some current stores - including Greenock, Paisley, Stirling and Linlithgow - also set to receive upgrades. “Since we opened our first UK store more than 35 years ago, we’ve brought high-quality, affordable groceries to almost 800 towns and cities, but there are hundreds more communities that don’t have an Aldi nearby. “We’re more determined than ever to meet that demand, and that’s why we’re investing a record £1.6bn over the next two years, to bring Aldi prices closer to millions more customers.”
