Aldi are asking for the Nottinghamshire public’s input on new locations for where to build supermarkets

A supermarket has launched a nationwide initiative to pinpoint prime locations for new store openings.

Aldi is asking customers in Nottinghamshire where they would like new stores to be built and find out where new stores are needed most.

The retailer has more than 20 stores in the county and say they will consider the areas which have the most suggestions as they company continue to expand across the UK.

Now the UK’s fourth-biggest supermarket, Aldi’s popularity has grown thanks to the appeal of its lower prices.

With plans to reach 1,500 stores nationwide, Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: “We want to make high-quality food accessible to all, but there are still some areas that either don’t have an Aldi or have potential for more stores.

“We’ve identified some key places where there is demand for more stores already, but now we are calling on the public to share their views.

“This will be used to help inform our property search over the coming years.”

Those wanting to put their town forward to be considered should contact the supermarket by emailing NextNewStore@Aldi.co.uk.

Suggestions must be submitted by May 31, and should clearly state a postcode and why people believe their area needs a new Aldi store.
