ALDI is opening a brand new supermarket in Upton, Poole next month.

The store will open at 8am with team GB's Kate French cutting the red ribbon on Thursday, December 16.

The new store will offer fresh, British meat products with weekly offers, Aldi’s award-winning ‘specially selected’ range – which was recently voted ‘Favourite Premium Supermarket Range’ by readers of Good Housekeeping magazine for the second year running – exclusive beers, wines and spirits, and a ‘food to go’ section at the front of the store.

Aldi’s 'Specialbuys' will also be available in the middle aisle every Thursday and Sunday, offering extraordinary value on a wide range of products, from electrical items to garden tools.

The team will be joined by Team GB gold medallist Kate French to celebrate the store opening by cutting the all-important ribbon on opening morning.

Aldi Store Manager Paul Clarke said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store in Poole. It’s set to be a special day and having Olympic hero Kate French join us will make it a morning to remember.”

Modern pentathlon star Kate French said: “I’m so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store, it will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its support of Team GB.”

Additionally, the new Aldi store is calling on local charities and food banks in Poole to register with Neighbourly, a community engagement platform that links businesses to charitable organisations in the local community. 

Local charities that register will be able to collect surplus food and perishable products, such as fruit, vegetables and baked goods, up to seven days a week. Any charities in the area that would like to partner up with the new Aldi store should email aldi@neighbourly.com.

The new store will be located on Blandford Road North, Upton, Poole BH16 6AA and will be open:

Monday - Saturday: 8am – 10pm
