Fears of traffic chaos failed to materialise during the opening of a much-anticipated new Aldi store on the outskirts of Shrewsbury today.
Store manager Robert Birch with Olympian Victoria Thornley at the opening of the new Aldi
"I came along because I was intrigued to see what it would be like and to pick up a couple of things. I am a regular Aldi shopper and used the old store in Arlington Way. I am glad this one is open." Victoria spends most weeks now in Shropshire, helping her parents run Woodland Park Lodges in Ellesmere.
But Anne-Marie Brettell, of Shrewsbury, was happy to see the automatic checkouts as they mean she can nip in and out on her lunch break from nearby property specialists Halls.
