Aldi has revealed that it’s looking for a site in Exmouth to build a new supermarket.

The company wants to open hundreds of new stores over the next few years and has earmarked Exmouth among the towns that don't already have a branch.

Aldi is on the hunt for freehold town centre, edge-of-centre and retail park sites suitable for property development. The sites should be able to accommodate a 20,000 sq foot store with around 100 parking spaces. Ideally the location will be near a main road with good visibility and access. 

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.” 

 Anybody who has a site that may fit Aldi’s requirements should contact info.nationalproperty@aldi.co.uk.
