Aldi has announced it will invest £67 million in upgrading existing stores this year.

The move marks the next stage of the budget supermarket’s store enhancement scheme and comes as the first phase of planned store upgrades nears completion.

The company has already spent £600 million on existing locations since 2017.

Aldi's initial store upgrades focused on creating a better shopping experience for customers with more space for fresh, chilled, and food-to-go ranges, alongside simpler layouts, improved fixtures and energy efficient LED lighting.

The new phase will include further improvements, including additional in-store features such as improved bakery and health and beauty fixtures for customers.

Stores will also receive CO2 refrigeration upgrades, which Aldi says will contribute to an estimated reduction in carbon emissions equivalent to heating over 6,500 homes by the time the programme is complete.

“Aldi’s £67 million investment is a major step forward in our commitment to delivering an even better shopping experience for our customers across Britain," said Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate, Aldi UK. “Building on the success of our previous upgrades, we’re enhancing store layouts as part of our dedication to providing customers with more sustainable stores, convenience and an improved shopping experience nationwide.”

Aldi is additionally investing approximately £650 million in new store openings across Britain in 2025, with key locations including Fulham Broadway in London, Billericay in Essex, and Cheadle in Stoke-on-Trent.
