A Merseyside Aldi will be shutting its doors for almost a year on Christmas Eve.
Aldi Prenton is "no longer fit for purpose" according to a spokesperson for the discount supermarket, and will be closing from Saturday, December 24 to be reopened at an unconfirmed date in November 2023. The building is almost 40 years old and has now "reached the end of its operational life."
The building, operated by Aldi for around 12 years now, will be rebuilt and replaced with a newer, energy efficient and more modern store, with more floor space and wider aisles. A larger car park will also be constructed with space for 125 vehicles.
