The German discount supermarket chain Aldi have declared that they are planning to open 14 new stores in Dorset including Bridport, Dorchester & Weymouth.
Here is the full list of the 14 sites where Aldi hope to open in the near future:
• Blandford
• Bournemouth
• Bridport
• Dorchester
• Ferndown
• Poole
• Shaftesbury
• Sherborne
• Sturminster Newton
• Swanage
• Verwood
• Wareham
• Weymouth
• Wimborne
They prefer to purchase freehold, town centre or edge of centre sites suitable for property development in towns with a population of 15,000 or more. They state each site should be around 1.5 acres and able to accommodate a 20,000 sq ft store with around 100 parking spaces, ideally on a prominent main road and with good visibility and access. They are willing to explore all opportunities including developer led schemes and existing or new retail units.
Aldi, the UK’s fifth largest supermarket, is finally getting into e-commerce too: in the United Kingdom, the company is offering boxes containing 22 basic (non-refrigerated) products such as pasta, disinfectant soap and toilet paper, which customers can order online for home delivery. The boxes are available on their website and are priced at £24.99, including delivery.
