Aldi has set out plans to open 500 more shops across the country, after opening its 1000th UK store today in Woking.
The discount supermarket said it has seen demand grow as shoppers turn to lower-priced options amid the cost-of-living crisis. According to market research firm Kantar, Aldi is the fastest-growing supermarket in the UK, the fourth-largest by market share. Fellow discounter Lidl has also seen its market share rise.
