Aldi has announced the next wave of store upgrades.

The supermarket giant will invest £300 million in refurbishing 25 stores across the UK as part of its wider improvement programme, including in Billingham and Sunderland.

Changes will vary by store, with selected locations benefiting from upgrades to bakery, health and beauty and fresh food areas.

Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: "We’re continuing to invest in our existing stores because we know how important the in-store experience is to customers.

"These upgrades will create more space, improve key areas of our stores and make them easier to shop.

"It’s an important part of how we’re investing in the communities we serve."

Five stores—Stirling, Paisley, Wollaston, Linlithgow and Lewes—will be extended as part of the scheme.

Each store will see tailored improvements, with some locations set to receive upgrades to bakery, health and beauty, and fresh food areas.

Aldi will also introduce new sustainability features at selected stores, including energy-efficient fridge doors and natural refrigerants to help lower carbon emissions.
