Aldi announces major changes to 33 stores - including two in Greater Manchester

Aldi has announced big changes to over 30 stores across the UK this summer, including two in Greater Manchester.

Stores in Walkden and Hyde are among those that the budget supermarket will refurbish over the coming months. The new refurbishment plans will see store layouts improved so that customers have more space to shop.

Changes to make stores more sustainable will also be carried out, such as installing doors on fridges to reduce energy use and using natural refrigerants in a bid to reduce carbon emission.

Aldi also confirmed that some of the changes could include updating signs and completely changing store layouts, with most of the work taking place across June, July, and August.

The changes come as part of Aldi's plans to invest more than £90 million to improve stores throughout 2024.
