Supermarket giant Aldi says it is targeting Kendal for a new store.
Aldi has announced its largest ever package of annual investment to accelerate its expansion across Britain’s towns and cities.
In its annual trading update, Aldi said it plans to open 23 new locations before the end of the year, marking a record £800m investment programme during 2024.
The retailer, which currently has over 1,000 stores, has previously announced plans to scale to 1,500 stores across the UK and Aldi – meaning it is on the hunt for more locations across the UK.
It said it was searching for freehold town-centre, edge-of-centre, and retail park sites suitable for property development in Kendal.
The sites should be able to accommodate a 20,000sq ft store with around 100 parking spaces.
Ideally the location will be near a main road with good visibility and access.
Anybody who has a site that may fit Aldi’s requirements should contact realestateacquisitions@aldi.co.uk
Aldi already operates a branch in Kendal, on Appleby Road.
