Aldi has confirmed its latest North East supermarket will open within weeks in Newcastle.
The growing discount retailer will open its brand new store at Kingston Park, following a speedy project which was completed and handed over by construction company Tolent before it fell into administration. The Gateshead contractor, which called in administrators two weeks ago, secured the £2.1m deal last summer to build the new 14,000sqft retail store for developers The Hanro Group.
The new store has created 39 jobs and the firm is seeking applications for the store positions now. The store – built following the demolition of buildings which housed businesses including Peacock and Poundstretcher stores and Luciano’s Italian Restaurant – opens on Kingston Park Avenue in Newcastle on March 16 at 8am.
