Aldi has committed £35m, including a £10m spend to open two new stores in Cumbernauld and Coatbridge, to further expand its Scottish portfolio.
The supermarket chain is also putting an additional £5m into upgrading existing stores under its Project Fresh initiative. The new layouts should give increased space for the retailer’s Scottish range, including fresh meat and fish, bread and cakes, beers and spirits, as well as an improved Food to Go section.
Aldi is also investing £20m to prepare for the roll out of the Deposit Return Scheme. The Scottish Government scheme will launch in August, aiming to make sure billions of single-use plastic bottles and cans are disposed of responsibly.
