The Northern Echo:

Coulby Newham shoppers can now benefit from a larger retail space of 1,287 sqm, offering an enhanced, convenient and varied shopping experience, with a large range of award-winning British products at unbeatable prices to choose from.

Bosses say the new format has been created to make shopping even easier for Coulby Newham customers, with the store now having more space and clearer signs to make shopping effortless.

Fresh bread and cakes have been moved to the last aisle, preventing them from getting squashed under customers’ shopping, and the store will now offer new, easy to browse freezers.

The Northern Echo:

Coulby Newham customers can also take a walk down the ‘Aisle of Aldi’’, where they will find legendary Specialbuys which are available every Thursday and Sunday.

During reopening week, the store will be running its Big Toy Event, including a licensed children’s smart watch for £29.99, a gaming alarm clock for £14.99 and a Meccano 150-piece bucket for £19.99.

The store will be run by Store Manager Simon McQuitty, along with a team of 38 colleagues from the local community.

Aldi have created 10 jobs as a result of the extension and are continuing to recruit for the Newham store.

Applications and more information on all of Aldi’s store positions can be found on Aldi’s recruitment website: www.aldirecruitment.co.uk/stores.

Store Manager Simon McQuitty said: “The team and I are really looking forward to welcoming back some familiar faces as well as new customers and supplying our local community with the everyday amazing products we have available.

"Hopefully the new look store will make shopping at Aldi Coulby Newham that bit easier and more comfortable.”
