The budget supermarket has revealed its stores will close slightly earlier than normal for the upcoming May bank holiday, which is on Monday, May 26
Aldi has confirmed its opening hours for the second May bank holiday. The second May bank holiday is due to take place on Monday, May 26.
The budget supermarket has revealed its stores will be open as normal before the bank holiday – so that means most branches will open from 8am to 10pm on Saturday, May 24, and from 8am until 4pm on Sunday, May 25.
Scotland stores are open later on Sundays, with most branches open from 9am until 8pm. Aldi has now confirmed that on Monday, May 26, its stores will close slightly earlier at 8pm, instead of the usual 10pm close. In Scotland, stores will close at 10pm as normal.
The opening times of some stores may vary, so customers should check their local store on the Aldi website before making their journey. Aldi has over 1,000 stores across the UK and has long-term plans to increase this number to 1,500.
It comes after Aldi revealed its wish list of locations where it wants to open new stores. The budget supermarket is opening new stores to areas such as Ashford in Kent, Eastbourne in Sussex, as well as Caterham in Surrey, in the next few months.
But in a new update, Aldi has revealed a full list of other locations where it wants to expand. The supermarket has more than 1,050 stores but has a long-term goal of increasing this to more than 1,500 UK stores.
