Aldi boss Giles Hurley has sent a message to all shoppers ahead of Christmas.
It comes as customers are rushing to stores to make sure they have all they need for December 25. But the CEO of the budget retailer has said stores will shut their doors for a couple of days, the MEN reports.
In an update to shoppers, Mr Hurley said: "As always, we close on Christmas Day and Boxing Day to make sure our amazing, hard-working colleagues can celebrate and enjoy time with their own families and loved ones."

The email continued: "Our thoughts are with those who may be struggling this Christmas and Aldi has launched an Emergency Winter Foodbank Fund worth £250,000 to support charities, foodbanks and community groups across the country.
"We will also once again be donating surplus unsold food to local charities and foodbanks once stores close on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, as part of our long-established partnership with Neighbourly. I want to take this opportunity, on behalf of everyone at Aldi, to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."
Home Bargains, M&S, Waitrose, John Lewis, Iceland, Poundland, B&Q, Wickes and Pets at Home will also remain shut on Boxing Day.
