Aldi is set to upgrade 25 of its stores as part of a nationwide upgrade programme.
The summer upgrades are part of the retailer’s £300 million investment into existing stores across the UK, which will continue throughout 2026.
Stores in Montrose, Harrogate and Wellington are among those set to benefit from the improvements.
Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: "We're continuing to invest in our stores to ensure our customers have the best possible shopping experience at Aldi.
"These upgrades will help us create even more convenient and efficient stores for both customers and colleagues while also supporting our sustainability ambitions."
The planned changes will vary by location but will focus on creating a more spacious shopping environment.
Improvements will include energy-efficient fridge doors, the use of natural refrigerants to reduce carbon emissions, and upgraded sections for bakery, health and beauty, and fresh food.
Aldi is also extending some stores in York, Liverpool and Yarm to provide wider aisles and create a more spacious shopping environment for customers.
This latest upgrade is in addition to Aldi’s wider growth plans, which include a £370 million investment in opening new stores.
The full list of stores receiving upgrades this summer includes locations in Liverpool, London, Aberdeen, Nottingham and Manchester.
Other locations on the upgrade list are Northlands Pavement in Pitsea, Newhailes Road in Musselburgh, and Carter Lane in Shirebrook.
Gü recall
Shoppers at Tesco and Waitrose have been issued a “do not eat” warning after a Gü dessert was recalled.
The Gü Double Sea Salted Caramel Frozen Dessert, sold at Tesco and Waitrose, has been removed from supermarket shelves because it may contain hazelnuts and soya not mentioned on the label.
As a result, the dessert is a health risk to anyone with an allergy to nuts or soya.
The affected product has a lot number of 126135 and a best before date of June 30, 2027.
A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: “Gü is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
“These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
“If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to hazelnuts (nuts) and/or soya do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.
“No receipt required. For more information, please contact recall@gupuds.com.”
A Gü spokesman added: “The issue is limited to a very small number of products (believed to be less than 10 units). However, as a precautionary measure and in line with our commitment to consumer safety, the affected date code is being recalled.
“We have taken proactive steps to further mitigate the issue, including strengthened allergen and packing controls within production.
“We believe the majority of consumers who purchased the affected products will already have been contacted or notified.”
