Aldi reopens in Shaw after refurbishment

The newly-refurbished Aldi store in Shaw

Aldi has revealed a fresh new look for its Shaw store, which reopened this morning (Thursday) at 8am.

The store has undergone a two-week transformation to improve customers’ convenience and overall shopping experience.

Standing at 940sqm, a more customer-focused layout allows for the products customers know and love to be found more easily, while browsing new ranges.

The transformation is part of Aldi’s £300m investment into improving its stores and service across the UK, and is based on feedback from more than 50,000 customers.  

The format of the store reflects proven customer behaviours, and includes developments such as:

• New and improved chillers and freezers including a ‘Food to Go’ section at the front of the store
• Increased space dedicated to fresh, British meat products
• Relocation of fresh bakery items to the final aisle, so products don’t get squashed under shopping
• Relocation of Beers Wines and Spirits into a dedicated fixture along the back wall, showcasing our award winning products
• A dedicated section full of award winning Health & Beauty products

The store has also been cleverly crafted to increase employee efficiencies, allowing Aldi to continue to pass its low operating costs on to customers in the form of low prices.

Customers visiting the store on opening day can take advantage of Aldi’s famous Specialbuys, which occur every Thursday and Sunday.

During opening week the store will be offering a wide range of power tools and workwear, as well as an extensive selection of other DIY products.

Aldi Store Manager, Andy Buckley, said: “The store is looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to welcome our loyal customers back so they can see it for themselves.

“We know that the value and quality of our products is unbeatable, and we’re committed to making sure that the shopping experience each customer enjoys in our stores is on a par with the products and services they’re used to.

"We were voted Britain’s favourite supermarket in the Which? 2018 Customer Satisfaction Survey voted for by UK shoppers and we’re delighted that our commitment to fantastic value and quality products is being recognised.

“We’ve got some great Specialbuy deals on throughout our opening week, so we’re set for a busy opening week.”

The store is open between 8am-10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sundays.
