Glasgow set for new Aldi stores as part of 'rapid expansion drive' and locals can have their say

Budget supermarket Aldi is looking to expand their stores across Greater Glasgow, eyeing up two locations in the area, but locals can have their say on where they think the new shops should be.

As part of its rapid expansion drive, Aldi chiefs are eyeing up areas like Cathcart in the South Side and just over the East Renfrewshire border in Clarkston. Aldi, that already boasts nearly 1,000 UK stores, is seeking freehold, town-centre or edge-of-town sites that are around one point five acres. Each site should be able to accommodate a 20,000 square foot store with around 100 parking spaces.

Locations should ideally be near a main road with good visibility and access.
