Aldi is interested in opening new branches in Scotland
Scots may see some new Aldi stores popping up over the next year, as the budget supermarket has said that it wants to open 40 new branches.
The Scottish locations in which the supermarket said it would like to open stores are Cathcart, Drylaw and Bonnyrigg. The chain currently has more than 990 stores in the UK, but they are planning to invest more than £400million on store development. Agents who recommend a site could earn either 1.5 percent of a freehold price that the supermarket pays or 10 percent of the first year’s rent for leasehold sites.
"To meet that demand, we need to open more stores and it’s our mission to keep driving our ambitious expansion plan to achieve that."
