A NEW supermarket at the heart of an under construction "urban village" will open next month.

Aldi will celebrate the opening of a new store in New Bolton Woods on Thursday April 23 at 8am.

Standing at 1,254 sqm of retail space, the Canal Road store will replace the existing Aldi store on Valley Road and will be run by Store Manager, Danny Futerko.

New Bolton Woods is a £150 million new development between Shipley and Bradford that will include over 1,100 houses as well as shops, schools and sports facilities.

A Costa opened last year, and there is another shop unit next to the soon to open Aldi.

Exclusive offers will run throughout opening day and the first 30 customers through the door will receive a complimentary bag of fresh fruit and vegetables from Aldi’s fantastic Super 6 range.

The new store, which is part of Aldi’s investment in local communities across the UK, will bring a number of job opportunities to the area and offer more customers access to Aldi’s high quality, low-price products. The retailer aims to have 1,200 stores by 2025 and is committed to further improving its existing stores for customers across the country.

Aldi New Bolton Woods, will offer large chillers and freezers dedicated to fresh, British meat products, a ‘Food to Go’ section at the front of the store, a fixture along the back wall showcasing Aldi’s award-winning Beers, Wines and Spirits, and an exclusive section full of Health & Beauty products.

Customers can expect to find Aldi’s Specially Selected range, weekly fresh meat offers and famous Super 6 fruit and vegetables at the new store. Aldi’s legendary Specialbuys will also be available every Thursday and Sunday, offering extraordinary value on a wide range of products, from electrical items to garden tools.

To celebrate the store opening, Danny Futerko and his team will be joined by Olympic Gold Medallist, Zac Purchase, to cut the all-important ribbon on opening morning.

Aldi Store Manager, Danny Futerko, said: “We can’t wait to open the doors to the new store on Canal Road and share our everyday amazing products with even more of the community in Bradford. Having Olympic hero, Zac Purchase, join us for our grand opening will make it a morning to remember.”

Olympic rowing star, Zac Purchase, added: “I’m so excited to be opening Aldi’s new store, it will be great to chat to customers and a lovely way for me to thank Aldi for its endless support of Team GB.”

Additionally, the new Aldi store is calling on local charities and food banks in New Bolton Woods to register with Neighbourly, a community engagement platform that links businesses to charitable organisations in their community, to receive regular donations of surplus food from the supermarket.

Local charities that register will be able to collect surplus food and perishable products, such as fruit, vegetables and baked goods, up to five days a week.
