New Aldi store on Teal Park site near Netherfield will open on August 11

Aldi is set to open a brand new store on the Teal Park complex near Netherfield on Thursday, August 11 at 8am. 

The new store on Morado Way will be opened by Paralympics GB gold medallist Richard Whitehead, who will be cutting the all-important ribbon on opening morning. Richard will also give away complimentary bags of fresh fruit and vegetables from Aldi’s famous Super 6 range to the first 30 customers in the queue.

The new store will be run by Store Manager Stuart Levick, along with a team of 38 colleagues who have been recruited from the local community. 

The discount retail giant said all 38 new jobs have been created as a result of the new store.

The new store will offer fresh, British meat products with weekly offers, Aldi’s award-winning ‘Specially Selected’ range, exclusive Beers, Wines and Spirits, and a ‘Food to Go’ section at the front of the store. Aldi’s legendary Specialbuys will also be available in the middle aisle every Thursday and Sunday, offering extraordinary value on a wide range of products, from electrical items to garden tools.
