THE Aldi store in Idle will reopen its doors on Thursday (June 10) after undergoing a revamp. 

The supermarket chain said it is part of its £500m investment into further improving its stores and services and is based on feedback from more than 50,000 customers.

A spokesperson said: "The format has been created to make shopping easier for Idle customers and the store will now have more space and clearer signs to make shopping effortless.

"Fresh bread and cakes have been moved to the last aisle, preventing them getting squashed under customers’ shopping, and the store will now offer new, easy to browse freezers.

"Customers visiting the store can safely pick up all the essentials they need. The Aldi at Quora Retail Park has a number of safety measures in place, including sanitisation stations on entry, Perspex screens at its tills and social distancing reminders in store, as well as a traffic light system to control the number of people going in and out of the store."

Specialbuys will be available every Thursday and Sunday. During re-opening week, the store will be offering a range of fitness essentials, including 6kg and 8kg kettlebells for £8.99, fitness mats for £5.99 and a 20kg weighted bag for £24.99.

Aldi Store Manager Lindsey Chen said: “The store is looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to welcome our loyal customers back so they can see it for themselves. We’re committed to making sure that the shopping experience each customer enjoys in our stores is on a par with the products and services they’re used to.

The store is located on Idlecroft Road and is open 8am until 10pm Monday to Saturday and 10am until 4pm on Sundays.
