ALDI WILL reveal a fresh new look for its Christchurch store when it re-opens to customers this coming Thursday.

Standing at 1,200 sqm of retail space, the store in the Meteor Retail Park has been developed as part of Aldi’s £500m investment into further improving its stores and services across the UK, based on feedback from more than 50,000 customers.

Customers will benefit from “a more customer-focused layout” allowing for products to be found more easily, with the inclusion of new ranges.

The store also employs 33 members of the local community.

Aldi Store Manager Chris Thompson said: “The store is looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to welcome our loyal customers back so they can see it for themselves.

“We’re committed to making sure that the shopping experience each customer enjoys in our stores is on a par with the products and services they’re used to.

“Customers will notice a few small changes throughout the store to align with social distancing guidelines, ensuring we keep our community safe, and we thank you for the co-operation in ensuring the safety of both our colleagues and customers.”

The new-look store offers increased space, dedicated to fresh British meat and fish, as well as popular Lacura health and beauty products, award winning alcohols, Mamia babycare products, and a new and improved Food to Go section, offering a choice of fresh salads, sandwiches and sushi for busy customers.

The Aldi in Somerford has a number of safety measures in place, including sanitisation stations on entry, Perspex screens at its tills and social distancing reminders in store, as well as a traffic light system to control the number of people going in and out of the store.

The store, located on the Meteor Retail Park in Christchurch, will be open from 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.
