Aldi<\/a> is set to upgrade four stores across Scotland this summer as part of its wider investment in its existing UK estate.<\/p>\n

The discounter said the works form part of its \u00a3300m programme to improve stores throughout 2026.<\/p>\n

The Scottish stores set to be refreshed are Newhailes Road in Musselburgh, Basin View in Montrose, Greenpark Drive in Polmont and Cornhill Shopping Arcade in Aberdeen.<\/p>\n

Changes will vary by location, but will include creating more space for customers to shop, as well as introducing more sustainable features such as energy-efficient fridge doors and natural refrigerants to help cut carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

Selected stores will also receive upgraded bakery, health and beauty, and fresh food areas as Aldi looks to improve the shopping experience.<\/p>\n

Across the UK, 25 locations are set to benefit from upgrades, including stores in Aberdeen, Musselburgh, Liverpool, London and Manchester.<\/p>\n

Aldi UK managing director of national real estate Jonathan Neale said: \u201cWe\u2019re continuing to invest in our stores to ensure our customers have the best possible shopping experience at Aldi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese upgrades will help us create even more convenient and efficient stores for both customers and colleagues while also supporting our sustainability ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement follows Aldi\u2019s wider investment plans for 2026, which include a \u00a3370m commitment to opening new stores across the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
