Aldi has revealed it has set its sights on three Berkshire areas where it comes to open new stores over the next two years.

It comes as Aldi reveals its plans to invest £1.4billion over the next two years. 

Now Britain's fourth largest supermarket, Aldi said in its annual trading update that it had attracted around a million extra customers in the past 12 months with a new generation of "savvy shoppers" turning their back on traditional, full-priced supermarkets. 

They have recently opened their 1,000th store and plan on reaching a target of 1,500 stores in the UK – meaning it is on the hunt for more locations across the UK. 

The areas in Berkshire where it is currently looking for sites include Bracknell, Slough and Maidenhead.

Aldi is searching for freehold town-centre, edge-of-centre, and retail park sites suitable for property development.

When looking for a site, Aldi searches for land that is able to accommodate a 20,000 sq foot store with around 100 parking spaces.

Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi UK, said: “We want to make our great value groceries accessible to all and to do that we need more stores, particularly in towns and areas that don’t have an Aldi already.  

“The areas we’ve identified in our latest list are places where there is demand for stores and we are committed to continue investing until we can bring our quality products and unbeatable prices to as many people as possible.”
