South Wales Aldi store set for upgrade this summer resulting in brief closure

Aldi's City Link Retail Park store in Cardiff is set to close for four days this summer as it undergoes an upgrade.

The supermarket giant revealed earlier this week more than 30 of its stores in the UK would undergo refurbishments this summer as part of a £90 million investment to improvement plan.

This is part of a planned 100 that will take place throughout 2024.

Changes will vary from store to store but works will include everything from redesigning store layouts and installing more sustainable features to updating signage.

Most of these refurbishments will take place in June, July and August, with stores such as Bristol, Newport (England) and Wrexham set to be affected.

Jonathan Neale, Managing Director of National Real Estate at Aldi UK, said: “Aldi attracted more new customers than any other grocery retailer in the last 12 months, and we want to continue to offer the best possible in-store experience for our shoppers.

“We’re committed to making sure that the shopping experience is on a par with the high-quality products and service we offer.

"Finding ways to reduce any environmental impact as we continue to grow our store estate across the country is also a vital part of these changes.”

The planned works will include an upgrade to refrigeration equipment which will see the installation of a more efficient, sustainable system as well as initiatives such as chiller doors.

The refurbishment work will also include new and improved bakery and health and beauty sections as well as an enhanced layout of the store.
