(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) Aldi has stated that it will be introducing 60 new stores to the people of London, hoping to bring lower food prices to the area amidst the cost of living crisis. Aiming to almost double the number of stores within the M25, Aldi has put a multi-million-pound expansion plan in motion, with the expectation of creating 2,400 new jobs. Additionally, the supermarket is seeking property agents to locate potential sites for stores, offering a ‘finder’s fee’ for suggesting an unknown site. The standard store size is 20,000 sq ft, requiring 100 parking spaces, while the smaller ‘Aldi Local’ stores are 5,000 sq ft. The supermarket is targeting office blocks, new housing areas, freehold town centres or edge-of-city sites as potential locations. Ben Shotter, the regional managing director at Aldi, expressed his belief that access to affordable, high-quality food should be a right, not a privilege.
