Aldi is on the lookout for new store locations in Buckinghamshire towns, including Milton Keynes, it has announced.
Aldi, the UK’s fifth largest supermarket, is currently expanding as it wishes to have 1,200 stores open by 2025.
The supermarket chain has identified five new locations across Buckinghamshire, including Milton Keynes and Buckingham, where it is looking for freehold town-centre or edge-of-centre sites suitable for development.
It says each site should be around 1.5 acres and able to accommodate a 20,000 sq ft store with around 100 parking spaces, ideally on a prominent main road and with good visibility and access.
Ciaran Aldridge, National Property Director at Aldi UK, said: “Aldi is growing rapidly and we are welcoming around a million new customers into our stores every year.
“But there are also hundreds of towns across the UK where there is not an Aldi, meaning there are hundreds of thousands of people who can’t easily access the high quality, affordable food our customers love.
“We are willing to explore all opportunities, including developer-led schemes or existing retail units.”
The full list of locations it is targeting in Buckinghamshire are:
- Amersham
- Beaconsfield
- Buckingham
- High Wycombe
- Milton Keynes
